Portable Drill Guide for Precision Alignment
The Big Gator Tools MDG1000NP is a pocket-sized V-DrillGuide that functions like a portable drill press. It automatically squares the drill bit to the workpiece using a precision-ground base and a V-groove for round stock. Made in the USA from heat-treated nickel-alloyed steel with a light oil coating, it prevents bit wander on flat surfaces and corners.
Suited for Metric Drilling Tasks Only
This guide suits users drilling metric holes who need repeatable perpendicular alignment without a bench press. It covers seventeen sizes from 3 mm to 9.5 mm in .5 mm increments plus 3.3, 4.2 and 6.8 mm. Builders requiring imperial sizes, larger diameters, or angled drilling capability should look at other solutions.
Handles Seventeen Metric Sizes Up to 9.5 mm
The guide comfortably handles the full listed range of metric twist bits for general fabrication and repair. Alignment marks on both sides aid centring on flat work, while round-stock marks assist on pipe. It runs out at 9.5 mm, so any hole larger than that maximum requires a different guiding method.

Questions about this item
Do I need to supply my own metric drill bits for the 17 sizes listed?
Yes, the guide provides bushings for 3 mm to 9.5 mm in .5 mm steps plus 3.3, 4.2 and 6.8 mm, but the drill bits themselves are not included.
Will the V-groove base sit securely on the round pipe I already have in the workshop?
The precision-ground V-groove is designed to align perpendicularly on round stock, and alignment marks on one side help centre the guide on cylindrical workpieces.
How do I verify the guide is keeping the bit perpendicular on a flat plate?
The bottom surface is precision ground for stability; after clamping, sight down the alignment marks on both sides to confirm the bit runs square to the surface.
