12mm RGB Pixel Drilling Jig for 1/2" PVC

thingiverse

This is a jig for drilling holes in PVC pipe for 12mm RGB Pixels. (Christmas lights). Requires a drill press, holes are drilled at 2" centers. Using the alignment stub, the holes are drilled at 2" centers and kept straight and in-line on the pipe. I suggest supporting both ends of the pipe as you are drilling as well to keep any twist from occurring. Instructions for use: 1) Use 1/2" drill bit or 12mm bit in drill press. 2) Ensure drill press bed is 90 to drill bit. 3) Place jig on bed, and lower drill bit into centering hole. 4) Raise or lower bed to correct height 5) Clamp jib to bed, or use through-holes for your own mounting system. 6) Place end of pipe into jig against alignment stub 7) Drill first hole through the pipe 8) Lift pipe and move hole to alignment stub I used 1/2" drill bit,
