The only jig you will ever need. When drilling a bowling ball, stability isn’t just a preference—it’s a requirement. The Rolling Down The Lane™ Ultimate 2-in-1 Drilling Jig delivers the rock-solid, secure positioning professional operators demand, rivaling commercial metal setups that cost hundreds of dollars more.

Engineered for versatility, this system adapts to your shop’s workflow. Use the included heavy-duty mechanical top ring for standard drill press setups, or connect a vacuum to the integrated port for a completely unobstructed, ring-free drilling experience. Its dual-material construction protects the ball while locking it dead-center, so your pitch and span layout carries accurately onto the press. No slipping, no walking, no visual obstruction—just secure precision on every hole.

* Dual-Mode Hold-Down: Switch between the heavy-duty mechanical top ring (hardware included) and the integrated vacuum port for a fully open workspace.
* Choice of Hold-Down Rod System: Hinged/swivel hold-downs or fully removable straight rods with thumb nuts.
* Color Options: Available in multiple colors to match your shop.
* Embedded Top Ring Washers: No more loose washers.
* Advanced Material Construction: Industrial-grade PETG-CF (carbon fiber reinforced) with structural enhancements for rigidity and long-term durability.
* Mar-Free TPU Grip: Flexible, high-traction TPU contact points grip the ball firmly without shifting or scratching the coverstock.
* Rock-Solid Stability: Absorbs machine chatter and prevents walking under high-torque drilling.
* Pro-Grade Value: The accuracy and heavy-duty performance of traditional machined jigs at a fraction of the cost.
* Patent Pending.

The Ultimate 2-in-1 Drilling Jig is vacuum-ready out of the box. To use the ring-free feature, you’ll need a vacuum pump rated at 3 CFM or higher. If you don’t already have one, we recommend a reliable entry-level unit like this [model](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GGYK5HDV) on Amazon.

If you’re looking for an inexpensive XY table, take a look at the [Vevor Milling Working Table available on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DL9BFTGH). This is the table I use in my home shop, but I strongly recommend going through it to check for and tighten any loose screws and to adjust backlash on both leadscrews. Please see my [Vevor XY Table Walkthrough page](https://rollingdownthelane.com/rdtl-vevor-xy-table-walkthrough/) for more details.
