RE: [BlindHandyMan] drilling holes in pvc pipe
Well, this is what came to my mind. Cut 3 pieces of lumber the same length as your pipe. The width of 2 of the pieces need to be the same as the diameter of the pipe, and for 1 and 1/2 pvc it should be 1 and 7/8 The 3rd piece will need to be the width of the pipe, 1 and 7/8, plus the width of your 2 other piece. So if your using 3/4 stock, the width of the 3rd piece would be 3 and 3/8. With your 3rd piece, make a shallow groove down the center of it, a blade width wide, and about 1/8 inch deep or so. Fasten the 3 pieces together, so your basically making a long 3 sided box that your pipe should fit into. If the pipe is a good fit, that little groove made in the 3rd piece should be right in the center of the pipe. Just line your drill up with the groove, and how ever far in you need it, and drill. After the first hole, slide a bolt through the guide, and the pipe to hold the pipe in place for your next hole. You could also do it with 2 pieces of wood, making a V shape to fit over the pipe. And using the point of the upside down v to center your drill bit.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] drilling holes in pvc pipe
If you can put the PVC in a vice on a drill press, then you can make it perpendicular to the bit by having the bit just brush over the PVC at either end. I mean, put the PVC in a vice, move one end of the PVC back and forth under the bit, lowering the bit until it just touches the PVC at its highest point. Set the stop there. Then turn the vice around and make sure the bit just touches the PVC at that end as well at the same stop. Now the PVC is perpendicular to the bit. As long as you drill at the point just where the bit touches the PVC, the two holes should be in line. As long as the vice holds the PVC from rolling during the drilling operation. -- Blue skies.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] drilling holes in pvc pipe
Hi Lenny Just get a piece of angle either plastic or metal and lay it along the pipe then mark a line along the pipe using either a scriber or pencil it depends if you have any sight. You can find a scriber stuck into your combination square. After drilling the top holes use the scribed line then with a centre square mark a line on the opposite side of the pipe and run a line along that side. If you just drill straight through the first time you might not have the pipe centred exactly and you will find it is out somewhat. I drilled a piece of pipe the other day when I was making a jig and found I had to start again because the holes were out so do it correctly the first time and it will turn out spot on.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] drilling holes in pvc pipe
I have a vice that works for this. To make your own, I'd take 2 pieces of wood and form a V with them. You can run 1 edge of each piece through the table saw at 45 degrees and glue them up. Then make a pair of feet for each end of the jig. When you have that ready, line the center of the V up with the drill bit. Make the first hole and turn the pipe end for end and make the second hole. - Original Message - From: Lenny McHugh lmch...@verizon.net To: handyman-blind blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, January 19, 2010 10:27 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] drilling holes in pvc pipe I want to make a holder for my table saws miter gauge.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] drilling holes in pvc pipe
Lenny, Do you have a drill press? If so, cut a slot, possibly just a single saw kerf in a stick, put the stick on the press table so that the drill bit centers on it then lay the pipe on the stick feeling it lay in the kerf. That will center it on the bit.

The holes do not have to go all the way through. but they must be in alignment. I have one other idea when I get to the hardware store. If I get two inside corner brackets. Mount them on the magnet bolts. Then set the pip on the brackets and drill holes through the bracket Then drop a small bolt through the pipe and bracket. - Original Message - From: Ray Boyce rayb...@westnet.com.au To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, January 19, 2010 2:30 PM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] drilling holes in pvc pipe Hi Lenny Just get a piece of angle either plastic or metal and lay it along the pipe then mark a line along the pipe using either a scriber or pencil it depends if you have any sight. You can find a scriber stuck into your combination square. After drilling the top holes use the scribed line then with a centre square mark a line on the opposite side of the pipe and run a line along that side. If you just drill straight through the first time you might not have the pipe centred exactly and you will find it is out somewhat. I drilled a piece of pipe the other day when I was making a jig and found I had to start again because the holes were out so do it correctly the first time and it will turn out spot on.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] drilling holes in pvc pipe
Ok, that is the easiest suggestion yet. Thinking a little more I have a 1/4 inch bit in my router table. The 1/4 inch groove will hold the pipe better and will be very easy to center the 1/4 inch drill bit.
