Looking for a “drill/tap guide block”. Aids in drilling/tapping perpendicular holes by hand?

English &/or metric desired. Ideally would cover the drill/tap sizes anywhere from 1/16″ to 1/2″. Can find this item in the hobby supplies but it only goes up to 1/4″, too small. I am looking for a broader range for common sizes used in auto and general repair.

Your local Pep Boys or hardware store should have an ‘Easy Out’ tool set.

How about a 117 piece tap and drill set? Metric and Standard. But it’s gonna cost you us technician’s prices. It is lifetime guaranteed though. Just search for “tap”

Good luck finding one. I had been looking for one for years, finally gave up and made my own. Use it primarily for drilling out broken manifold bolts and keeping the frill straight when I cannot see directly.
i used 4 pieces of steel (1- 1″ wide, 1- 1-1/2″ wide, 2- 2″ wide) and all 5/8″ thick. I drilled all the hole sizes I needed, heated and quenched in oil. They work pretty well, and sometimes they work very well for other things as well.
Good Luck
