That is a step drill....

The jig can take lipsless or plugs with a lip... if using it with a plug that has a lip, the head stock is flipped ( held in place by two screws) the lip slot slides on a piece of thin sheet metal.. and a pin goesin the through hole.. the tail stock pin holds the rear.. when using it for darters (like in the picture) it is reversed and a screw inserted in the plug to hold it fast.... the jig was made so the tail stock and lip slot ( or screw) are peerpendicular... a wooden fence on the drill press is set to the correct depth... it is a simple matter of lining up the mark on the belly and the drill to drill the holes....
