The History


At all tmes, John Economaki - the founder of Bridge City Tool Works has been dedicated to creating the Fewest Number of Tools for makers to create high-level work in a confined space.


DJ-1 Drilling Jig


DJ-2 Drilling template

John brought the first-generation Drilling Jig DJ-1 in 2009, which addresses the vast majority of drilling needs encountered by woodworkers and can realistically replace a stationary drill press. In 2012,he designed the second-generation DJ-2 Drill Jig.



9 years later, John made his third design of the DrillJig! And now, we are excited to introduce the 3rd-generation Drill Jig DJ-3 Universal Drilling Jig! With 9 kinds of drilling capabilities, incredible drilling accuracy and stunning appearance, DJ-3 will be anamazing new tool for your workshop!


Overview of the DJ-3



There is no more accurate way of drilling holes than through a drill bushing.The DJ-3 Universal Drilling Jig allows for two drill bushings to be inserted with a maximum drill size of 13 mm Compared to the previous generations of Bridge City Drill Jigs, DJ-3 features a new and improvedstop system, and an adjustable jaw for off-center drillings.


Using a similar dual cable adjustment system as the Bridge City CS-3 CenterScribe, the DJ-3 Universal Drilling Jig will self-center on stock up to 316 mm in width. In addition, the DJ-3 will alow for off-center drilling up to 30 mm from center. Also, the DJ-3 Jaws are configuredto hold cylindrical stock and spheres. With different configurations, DJ-3 is able to handle 9 different drill applications as below:

-Center Drilling on flat Face

-Off Center Drilling on Flat Face

-Drilling on Round and Tube Stock

-Axial Drilling on Round Stock

-Bias Drilling on Square Stock

-Axial Drilling on Square Stock

-Center Drilling on Sphere

-Dowel Hole Drilling on 45 Degree Miter*

(with the optional Jaw Kit DJ-3-J)

-Angled Drilling on Flat Face*

-Drilling dowel holes in 45° mitre holes


As you will soon learn, the DJ-3 can easily be thought of as a drill press in a box. It offers a legitimate answer to the drilling needs of many customers without sufficient space.


Amazing Drilling Accuracy



The bushings are made of tool steel, hardened to a rockwell of 60-62 HRC.After thousands of hours of research and experiments, we found that this specific hardness gave the maximum life to both the bushings and the drill bits, so that the drilling accuracy is guaranteed.


In addition, the bushings have a tolerance of 10-20 microns, which ensures everyhole drilled using this jig will be incredibly accurate.


Improved Stop System



For repeatability, the DJ-3 is equipped with an improved Stop System.The flip stop are designed to reach the stock regardless of which"V" Groove is used. Drilling multiple, accurateholes has never been this easy!



Thoughtful Design for Storing the Hex Wrench


The 2mm hex wrench is conveniently stored in the body of the DJ-3 and is retained by a hidden rare earth magnet.



Premium Materials



The DJ-3 Universal Drilling Jig is mostly made of 6061 aircraft grade aluminum alloyfor excellent rust resistance.

In addition, the DJ-3 Drilling Jig is anodized for a vibrant and decorative finish with strong corrosion and wear resistance.


Standard Bushing Kit



The DJ-3 Universal Drilling Jig comes with the Standard Bushing Kit including 28 bushings of the following sizes:



Eleven Imperial Bushings:: ø1/16", ø1/8", ø3/16", ø1/4"(2 pcs.), ø5/16", ø3/8"(2 pcs.), ø7/16", ø1/2"(2 pcs.)



Seventeen Metric Bushings:: ø1mm, ø2mm, ø3mm, ø4mm (2 pcs.), ø5mm, ø6mm(2 pcs.), ø7mm, 8mm (2 pcs.), ø9mm, ø10mm (2 pcs.), ø11mm, ø12mm, ø13mm.



Center Drilling on Flat Face



Using a similar dual cable adjustment system as the Cs-3 CenterScribe, the DJ-3 Universal Drilling Jig can automatically align the bushings with the centerline of theworkpiece.The maximum width of stock that can be drilled in this case is up to316mm.


Off Center Drilling on Flat Face



The DJ-3 will also allow for off-center drilling up to 56 mm from center by using the laser-etched graduation on the back of the adjustable jaw.


Drilling on Round and Tube Stock



Milled into the removable jaws of the DJ-3 are two "V" grooves for drilling perpendicular holes on round or tube stock.


The maximum diameter of stock that can be drilled in this case is up to ø60mm.


Axial Drilling on Round Stock



Round stock of ANY length can be drilled axially with the DJ-3 Universal Drilling Jig.This is the use that a drill press cannot compete with. The maximum diameter of stock that can be drilled in this case is up to 316mm.



Bias Drilling on Square Stock



Because of the bushing we are using, the larger drills bits will not drift off the center line. The maximum side length of stock that can be drilled in this case is up to 40mm.



Axial Drilling on Square Stock



Square stock of ANY length can be drlled axially with the DJ-3 Universal Drilling Jig.This is the use that a drill press cannot compete with. The maximum side length of stock that can be drilled in this case is up to 224mm.



Center Drilling on Spheres



Spheres from 8mm to 60mm in diameter can also be easily drilled with the DJ-3 Universal Drilling Jig.


Dowel Holes Drilling on 45 Dearee Miters*(with the optional Jaw Kit DJ-3-J)



Want miter joints that can be strengthened with dowels? The DJ-3 Universal Drilling Jig, when fitted with the 45° miter jaws, will always drill hole is perpendicular to the mitered edge directly on the centerline.



Stock of ANY length can be drilled with the 45° miter jaws, and the maximum width of stock that can be drilled in this case is up to 185mm.

*This drilling application must be completed in conjunction with the optional Jaw Kit DJ-3-J.



 Angled Drilling on Flat Face* (with the optional Jaw Kit DJ-3-J)

Drilling holes at an angle is extremely easy with the long accessory jaws.



In conjunction with Long Accessory Jaws, the large diameter bits with nominal shank diameters can be used for drilling large holes.


Using this setup, holes can be drilled up to 45 degrees. The maximum thickness ofstock is up to 135mm.
