Adjustable Drill Guide

A precision-engineered tool designed to improve drilling accuracy, repeatability, and flexibility.
Built to replace makeshift jigs and reduce alignment errors in prototyping and mechanical design work.

πŸ”§ Problem

Traditional drilling setups rely on improvised jigs or manual alignment β†’ leading to inconsistent hole placement, wasted material, and limited adaptability.


πŸš€ Approach

  • Designed modular system in CAD with parametric constraints
  • Integrated angle adjustment (0°–90Β°) and depth control
  • Developed interchangeable bushing system for multiple drill sizes
  • Prototyped using machined aluminum + 3D-printed parts

βœ… Results

  • Accurate, repeatable drilling with reduced scrap rate
  • Fast angle adjustments without complex setup
  • Portable, low-cost alternative to fixed jigs
  • Improved operator ergonomics and usability

πŸ“š Learned

  • CAD modeling, tolerance stack-up
  • Rapid prototyping with machining + additive manufacturing
  • User-centered design in mechanical tooling
  • Balancing precision engineering with manufacturability
