I mostly need something to guide my handheld drill when I need to make holes
perfectly perpendicular to the wood surface.
I found this guy:

Which does angles, though it's unclear how rigid it is. My needs are for
90° but angles could be of use someday.

Might be worth the $26 they are asking for it.
Or you could use a drill press. There are many other examples, some
better (and some worse) to do what you want.

Make your own jig out of scraps.
Edge glue/nail together 2 pieces of 1x2 to form a V.
Cut the ends off square.
Place your drill bit in the V and hold it against the desired hole location.
For angled holes cut the jig end off at the desired angle.
Good. Free. Hand held.

I like how you think....I may do just this....I was planning on using a
press to cut trusted holes in a block of hardwood of every diameter from
dinky to 1/2" to match all my drill bits....like the V thing
better.....but....neither idea works well because I lose the depth of the
bit, unless I get all new extra long bits.

I've used this one for years, and I like it. Good, fast, and cheap.
