Two Minute Build | Super Accurate Corner Jig
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 май 2017
- This is a simple and very accurate jig for drilling holes at a precise offset from any given corner. By using three drill bits of varying sizes, it's easy to precisely control the spacing of the corner hole for dead-on accuracy.
The key is to drill the first hole against the drill press fence, then rotate 90° with the drill bit still in the work piece. Setting a stop block against the rotated edge gives you a perfect corner offset in both directions.
Then, use two drill bits (the same size as the hole) with a third bit across them to act as a precise spacer.

Great project! Thanks for taking the time to make and film it. Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
I love simple and elegant solutions like this :-)
Thanks for sharing!
Also I like your style of video. No unnecessary talking, straight to the point and nicely edited. Great!
Great video
Thanks!
Like the idea and presentation. I can't figure out what the application would be though. What did you use it for?
Admittedly, I didn't explain it very well. The point of the jig is to provide a very, very precisely-placed drill guide hole, offset exactly the same from each edge of the corner. The drill bit (used as spacers) give that very precise offset. The corner hole is the only one that matters -- the other two holes are just there to keep the edge guides straight while gluing them in.
After I made this video, I took it a step further and had a fancier version 3D printed. To see it in use, check out: ruclips.net/video/vi8-krrgORE/видео.html
재능이 넘 좋아요..
THANKS...Great idea!! Can I use the same concept for a doweling jig? I will work on it
Yes, I think this concept would definitely work for a doweling jig.
What the heck do yo do with it?! A small example would have been nice.
It's for drilling a hole indexed off both edges of a corner with perfect precision.
@jujitsuman68 to be fair i was expecting some kind of corner clamps not just a way to screw in a pattern
bom trabalho
how do you use it?
As an amateur woodworker I must say.........I'm super lost
No worries. I don't think I really explained it very well. I think the key takeaway is a technique for spacing holes from an edge, using drill bits as semi-precision spacers.
@@MadebyJester- Yeah, I was equally lost at first. The build part made sense, but I had to watch the last few seconds of the video a second time.
What the heck is the purpose of that little square of wood? How does that help the jig? Or is that the jig?
Then I suddenly got it. The little square was just to show how the jig allowed you to drill holes equally spaced from both edges at the corner of your project, like for adding feet or casters. Just size the drill bit to get the spacing you want.
Cool!
It's good to make my brain work this early in the morning. 🤪
I'm not clear on what this is for, but I've made similar jigs in my shop (I make bed frames, semi-production-style). If you ever need a jig like this that you'll use a fair amount, you might try using drill guide bushings. They're hardened steel and replaceable, so your bits won't widen the precision-placed holes in the jig over time, and (depending on the length of the bushings you use), they give better/straighter support for the drill bit. They are expensive though.
Anyway, the quality of your video is great! And none of that slow, boring business that too many people here do.
Thanks! I do love drill guide bushings (stumbled on them a few years ago on McMaster). This corner jig was just needed to drill four holes -- four very, very prices holes -- so the drill guide bushing wasn't necessary. You're right, though, that the drill will widen out the holes eventually.
Agreed about the long-winded youtube videos. I have a short attention span, so I invariably click away from the videos with long intro sequences, too much talking, or just generally not getting to the point. You can do a lot in a short video.
You could use a brad point bit and just stab it through the hole by hand. Remove the bit and guide then replace the bit in the small hole left by pressing the point in.
That would work too.

Why not just use your drill press? You have a drill press.
A drill press by itself just drills holes. This jig makes sure the offset from the corner is correct and repeatable.
Drill press stop block would work the same.
Though with some small changes this method would work for right angle clamping jigs.
What if it's too big or heavy to get on the table or not even in the shop?
Lost!!
I could have explained it better. It's a jig for putting a hole in a corner, equidistant from the two edges. The two drill bits are used as spacers to get exactly the right spacing when building the jig.
Made by Jester ok thank you!!
