Abstract

A reliable, inexpensive drill attachment for positioning a portable power drill relative to an article to be drilled includes adjustable means for aligning the attachment relative to the axis of the drill and an improved base for supporting the drill to accurately align and hold the drill axis in a normal position relative to a flat surface to be drilled or to a cylindrical or compound curved surface such as a spherical surface. A plurality of feet are positioned at various locations on the base to enable the attachment to adapt to various surfaces.
