How to drill holes perpendicular to end of 2x4 when cut at an angle.

OK, looking for a time saving and accuracy increasing tips please.  I’m thinking of a project where I’m going to have a lot of 2x4’s with the ends cut at about a 16˚ angle.  I want to drill pilot holes in that end face for the screws, but I want them to be perpendicular to that face.  I don’t have a pillar drill, just a vice. I’m trying to think of a quick, easy and cheap way to drill 130 holes (two ends on each of 65 lengths) with some degree of accuracy.  This doesn’t have to be perfect, probably +/-2˚ (or even more) in any direction is fine.

TIA

Get a block of aluminium or a harder wood than the 2*4 and drill your guide into that. Mark/set the edge of the guide block in the same spot for each 2*4 you have to drill. Basically making a drill bushing from scrap.

Dowel jig

(You could make a block jig that would do the same thing)

I like Stafford1500's idea for quick and easy.  thx.

I have one similar to this.  Adjustable corner clamp jig.  You could chuck up both pieces at whatever angle you have.

The quick and dirty way I do it when I'm toenailing in a screw is to start perpendicular to the face until you're about 1/4" deep, then turn it to the angle you want.  Works for rough stuff but not so good for a prettier finish.

Have you checked the angle on a Kreg jig?  It might be perfect.

I would want to secure the drill and build a slide/guide so that I could simply turn the drill on and leave it on, lay a board onto the guide, push it forward to drill one hole, flip it over, push it forward again to drill the other.  The setup would be longer, but the manufacturing would be much faster.

It’s 130 holes. Manufacturing time is not a very big deal. 

Why not just drill the holes first and then cut the angle?

In reply to Robbie :

They need to be perpendicular to and in the cut face.

ah, I think you're looking for different than what I (and I think Robbie/others) thought you were looking for.

So the holes need to be 16ish degrees off the long axis of the 2x4, right? Why is that not just a regular drill jig mounted to the angled face?

In reply to bluej :

No reason.  That would work fine  

You are overcomplificating things.

That's what I'd do.
