A drill guide is designed to hold a drill bit perpendicular to the material being drilled in order to get a perfectly straight hole. A tap guide does the same, only for threading holes rather than drilling. Use of a guide will result in reduced breakage of bits and taps as well as straighter holes when hand drilling.
