Portalign Tool Corp. (or Co.) manufactured the Portalign circular saw guide and the Portalign drill guide. Introduced in 1974, The drill guide converted a portable electric drill into a simple drill press. It was sold by Sears as the Craftsman drill guide, but parts were sold by Portalign, which was identified by name in the Craftsman manual. This was an unusual arrangement for Sears, who rarely identified the manufacturers of its products. Other Portalign products included several drill press accessories.
