This 3D printed guide makes it easy to mark out precise
hole patterns on turned pieces. Designed for both odd
and even grids, it includes a central alignment hole for
even-numbered layouts—perfect for centering on bowls,
platters, or games. I also offer custom grid patterns,
including triangles and other arrangements, just get in
touch. Whether you're drilling for decorative elements
or structural inserts, this guide ensures clean,
repeatable results every time.
See the gallery below for an example project with the
guides.
Tolerances within +-0.1mm for consistent results.
Repeatable holes for marking.
Reduces guesswork and speeds up setup.
Friction from moving wood on the lathe will heat up the PLA plastic and cause it to deform or wear.
Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources, such as radiators, or hot cars. PLA softens around 60 °C.
UV from sunlight can weaken PLA over time.
Prolonged moisture can weaken PLA over time.
