Drilling accurate, consistent holes can be tricky, especially on thicker posts. Not to mention the difficulty of holding a drill level and steady. The drill guide provides stability while drilling, so your holes turn out perfectly every time.
If your project includes stairs, the single-hole template is especially helpful for angled cable pass-through holes. The adjustable head pivots and locks in place, so you can accurately drill parallel to the angle of your top rail.
The drill guide also helps keep your holes even and on center all the way through your post, so you can avoid the look of uneven cables.
If you're working on a smaller project, the single-hole template is a great option. It includes two interchangeable heads — one for drilling 3/16" cable pass-through holes and another for 9/16" Bullet holes. The single-hole also works best for stairs and projects with cable spacing other than 3".
The 6-hole template is recommended for larger jobs and professionals with multiple projects. It includes guides for both Bullet tensioner and cable pass-through holes, but works exclusively with 3" cable spacing. If your project includes stairs, consider purchasing both the single and 6-hole drill guides for maximum efficiency.
