This kit combines an acrylic guide plate, a scale plate, a single drill bit, and six flat washers so you can mark, align and drill holes quickly—whether you’re producing matching pairs or placing a hole at an irregular location. Its simple parts let you adapt to different earring thicknesses and shapes without complex setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this guide help me get perfectly centered holes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe triangular opening on the acrylic guide is calibrated to help you find the geometric centre of round and regular-shaped pieces. By aligning a piece within that triangular zone and using the scale lines on the included plate, you reduce guesswork and keep holes consistent across multiple items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTriangular central area for easy centering of circular or symmetrical shapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVisible scale lines to match hole positions between pairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStable acrylic plate that holds the drill bit vertical for straight holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I make holes in irregular shapes or off-center placements?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes—the rectangular section of the jig is meant for when a design calls for non-centered or uniquely placed holes. Position your clay piece against the edge or within the rectangle and use the scale plate to measure exact offsets so each piece is drilled the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRectangular area for bespoke or asymmetrical hole placement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScale plate lets you reproducibly place holes at a set distance from an edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks well for batch-drilling several irregular pieces with identical offsets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do the washers and drill bit adapt the tool to different earring thicknesses?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe six flat washers act as spacers so you can raise the guide plate or change the working height to suit thicker or thinner clay pieces.
