This wood screw pilot hole guide helps you drill straight, correctly sized pilot holes for common wood screws using both metric and imperial sizes.

It includes pilot holes for:

  • Imperial: #4, #6, #8, #10, #12

  • Metric equivalents: approximately 2.0 mm to 4.0 mm

The solid rectangular design keeps your drill bit vertical and stable, helping prevent wood splitting and improving screw alignment. It works well with hand drills or drill presses and is ideal for woodworking, DIY projects, and home repairs.

Designed using simple geometry, this model prints quickly, is beginner-friendly, and requires no supports. It works great in PLA or PETG and is compact enough to keep in a toolbox or workshop drawer.
