The drill guide features a broad clamping surface and integrated guides for common post sizes like 4x4 and 6x6. It includes adjustable centering knobs for securing the guide and can accommodate 9/16" holes for tensioners and 3/16" holes for pass-throughs, ensuring accurate 3" cable spacing.

How to Use:

1. 1. Find the midline of your post.

   This is the first step in preparing your post for drilling.

2. 2. Align the drill guide with the underside of your top rail.

   For tensioner posts, align the guide so the 9/16" half-circle feature is against the top rail. For pass-through posts, flip the guide over so the 3/16" half-circle feature is against the top rail.

3. 3. Center the drill guide holes over your midline.

   Position the drill guide precisely over the midline marked on your post. Tighten the adjustable knobs to secure the guide, creating a stable template for drilling. The knobs can be removed if necessary for larger posts.

   ? PRO TIP: The knobs can be removed for larger posts.

4. 4. Clamp the acrylic backer of the drill guide to your post.

   Ensure the guide is firmly attached to the post.

5. 5. Drill your holes.

   Drill through the guide's pre-set holes. For pass-through posts, it is recommended to drill from both sides to maintain a level hole.

   ? PRO TIP: On pass-through posts, drill from both sides to maintain a level hole.

   If you need to drill more holes than the template provides, align the top hole on the template with a previously drilled hole to maintain consistent 3" spacing as you move down your post.
