The SFS DG Drill Gauge is a precision drilling guide designed to create perfectly centered holes in aluminum and steel subframes using the pre-drilled cladding panel as a guide. It helps ensure accurate rivet placement for facade systems while improving installation speed and consistency.

Supplied with a 5.1 mm (#7) drill bit, the DG Drill Gauge is designed for use with SFS AP16 and SSO-D15 facade rivets. Four interchangeable nosepieces accommodate different pre-drilled float hole diameters in the facade panel, while the non-rotating nosepiece and single-handed operation make installation fast, easy, and precise.
