TC1971 08480 Series Round Pipe Drill Guide

TC1971 08480 Series Round Pipe Drill Guide is designed for positioning clean hardware holes, hinge holes, dowel holes, pocket holes and repeat drilling layouts in wood panels. It is suitable for woodworking shops, cabinet production, furniture projects and repeat routing tasks where a clean profile and stable setup are important.

TC1971 08480 Series Round Pipe Drill Guide Applications

Use this woodworking drilling guide when the project needs a controlled cut rather than a rough material-removal pass. It can support cabinet doors, drawer fronts, panels, trim pieces, furniture components, jigs or decorative woodworking details depending on the profile and setup.

How to Choose the Right Setup

• Confirm hole diameter, guide spacing, drill bit fit, workpiece thickness, positioning method and repeat accuracy.
• Match the guide, drill bit and bushing or locator size to the hardware layout.
• Check the work material, including hardwood, softwood, MDF, plywood and cabinet panels.
• Test on scrap material to confirm hole spacing, depth, hardware fit and repeat positioning before drilling finished parts.

Use and Maintenance Tips

Clamp or hold the guide firmly, clear chips often and keep the drill square to the panel. Stable positioning is more important than forcing the cut quickly.
