Abstract A drilling guide for providing stability, direction, force and depth control for precise drilling comprises a hollow shaft attached to drill shaft casing, a telescopic housing connected to hollow shaft with a close coil spring, a depth measuring scale and a set of locknuts as depth controlling device. The threaded portion of hollow shaft provides means for depth measuring and controlling surface and nonthreaded portion and outward flange provides means for direction guidance for the housing. The housing which could protect adjacent objects from drilling relatively moves upwardly during downward movement of hollow shaft and stops at where locknuts are located. The housing comprises a serrated edge for aiding stability and vented holes for exiting drilling byproduct. The close coil spring can provide consistent resistance to prevent unexpected plunging of drill bit and can bring the drill bit back to the original position following the same path of drilling.
A drill guiding instrument for use with a drill, which includes means for securing said drill guide to said drill, the said drill guide comprising a. an elongated hollow shaft having a threaded portion, a not threaded portion, and a graduated scale which is carved longitudinally on a portion of said threaded and not threaded surfaces, b. said not threaded portion of said shaft having an outwardly extended shoulder and a hole within said outwardly extended shoulder, c. a housing having an inwardly extended shoulder which is telescopically mounted and encircling over said shaft, and said housing has a hole through said inwardly extended houlder, d. a stretchable means which is secured between said housing and said shaft through said holes of said shoulders of said shaft and said housing, e. a drill depth limiting means mounted on the said threaded portion of said shaft.
