After drilling dowels by hand in the edge of a board and not getting them perpendicular, you have no idea what a god send this product is. It may have saved my sanity.
Sherri P on Feb 20, 2016
Needed an economical, self centering doweling jig, and this kit included an enormous number of dowels that I would need to order anyway. Great value.

Great device for centering holes and making sure they are vertical. Comes with many drill bit size guides. I use the 1/4" and 3/8" holes mostly for my work.

Robert R on Jun 22, 2016
Can I use this kit to drill to an 8" depth?
Scott M on Jul 28, 2015
BEST ANSWER: You certainly can, if you have a bit long enough. This jig will keep your bit straight as you bore through the wood. The depth is only dependent on the bit length. You'd need a bit that was about 10" long if you want to make the hole without removing the jig and completing the last portion of the hole using the bore that you've already started as a guide for the final depth.
Can this jig make corner and tee joints?
Garry E on Nov 28, 2015
BEST ANSWER: It should be able to do that. The big thing that this jig does is to make sure that the dowel is centered on the wood. If you can precisely determine the location of the dowel location on the second piece, it should work. I suggest you also get the dowel marking pieces which would help locate the location of the hole on the second piece.

An old-school tool
This is very much an old-school tool, but that's not a bad thing. Sometimes there is no substitute for a good hand tool, even with all the fancy CNC machinery. I used it for making shaker style cabinet doors. The joints were strong, precise, and didn't require a large amount of setup and fine tuning like a mortise and tenon joint does. It's inexpensive, easy to use, very accurate, and portable.

Very good jig, it centers well and seems like it will hold up for a really long time. Would recommend to anyone needing a centering jig, well worth the money.

This tool is one of the best investments I've made in my shop for many years. It's easy to use and speeds up the job tremendously. It is well made and should last for years. After just one use it has become a prized posession. It is money well spent.

This is the best dowelling jig...
This is the best dowelling jig I have found. It is dead accurate, easy to use, solidly built, and versatile, working on stock up to 2 inches thick. When I first recieved it, there was some play in the center block, leading to some inaccuracy. Although the directions don't address this, I discovered that the little set screw in the center of the block wasn't tightened fully. Once adjusted, it worked like a charm. A very worthwhile investment and necessary tool for dowel joinery.

I had been considering a Dowelmax but simply couldn't justify the $300+ price tag. After searching and reviewing I decided on this jig. I found it to be solid, well built and easy to use. The previous reviews were dead on accurate in describing this product and how it works.

The jig was perfect. I aligned my dowel holes perfectly for the 2" pine slabs I am using to make a dining table.

The jig met all of my expectations. However the dowels that came with it all seem to be over sized. I tried to use them on several occasions and none of them would fit the recommended holes.
