Hole Layout Guides

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.

Daily Cleaning

Friction from moving wood on the lathe will heat up the PLA plastic and cause it to deform or wear. 

Avoid High Heat

Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources, such as radiators, or hot cars. PLA softens around 60 °C. 

Avoid Direct Sunlight

UV from sunlight can weaken PLA over time.

Keep Dry

Prolonged moisture can weaken PLA over time.
