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.

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.

Thanks Steven, but let me ask, if the big is 2 3/16 tall, wouldn't that keep a longer bit plumb? After all, how could you angle the drill if the bottom 2" are held plumb?
You open the clamp like a vice and then clamp it on the wood by tightening it like a vice.Then the drill guides steady the drill bit. It only opens 2 3/16 wide so anything over that, you can't clamp it on the wood. I suppose if you could use external clamps to center the vice part on the 8 inch wood, it might work, but I think you'd have better luck with the Big Gator V drill guide # 49531
I thought you had a piece of wood 8" thick, but if you are asking in you can drill plumb with a 8" bit into 8" of wood which is no more than 2 3/16 thick, probably.
Yes, the wood is only 2" thick, but i need to drill an 8" hole down into the piece's depth, which is 12"

I would like to drill two holes (either 1/4" or 5/16") with a spacing of roughly 1 1/2" with one positioning of the jig. Consistency of the hole spacing is more important than absolute position. Moving the jig for each hole compounds the errors that you make in laying out the hole location. Is this possible?

A must have tool in any shop
I purchased this jig a few months ago when I started woodworking after a long layoff and my ex giving away most of my tools. I just built a new work bench and used it to join the 2X8 boards I used for the top. Bottom line, IT WORKS. This is a must for anyone getting serious about building with wood. Great product, you can't go wrong.

Worked well with some set up
Purchased this to rejoin a table leaf which had split. The faces to be joined were not flush and made use of the jig a little difficult. Due to the angle of the face the guide line could not be seen through the window. However by measuring from the edge of the jig to the hole center, I was able to line it up with only a few extra measurements.
The jig centered every dowel hole perfectly which I would never have been able to do otherwise. The two halves lined up perfectly and the faces are flush. Now for some sanding and refinishing.
Very happy with the experience. Thank you Rockler!

Kitchen Cabinet Repair -SUCCESS!
Had a problem with a kitchen cabinet door, the door and the style fell off. Attempted to repair several times w/glue and clamps; repairs did not last long. Saw the doweling kit, I figured let's buy it, have always thought dowels are the way to go (going back to shop class in the 70's). The kit arrived, immediately opened the box....thought about what was required with this project, still very hesitant and very reluctant about drilling holes in the kitchen cabinets....practiced joining 1X4's with SUCCESS! and relative ease. Jumped on the project while confidence and adrenaline were flowing. Using the jig, drilled 6 holes, installed 3 dowels, repaired the cabinet. I felt like a Master Cabinet Maker when finished 10 minutes later. Shared photos with brother and friends. Now trying to figure what I can build utilizing the dowel kit. Have been the hero with the wife ever since. Seriously, this is a very well made, durable product. I figured it paid for itself with this cabinet repair. Would definitely buy again.

Taught myself how to use dowels
Having learned woodworking thru pocket holes, I purchased this jig to teach myself how, when, and why to use dowels. It’s a simple design, easy to set up, easy to use, quick, sturdy, and gives great results. I have now used this jig for many projects, each with perfectly aligned holes.

THE JIG IS A THUMBS UP
I have not used dowel pins very much in my wood working because of the difficulty associated with aligning the pins to get the desired fitting joint. After practicing with pieces of scrap wood I made 56 perfect aligning dowels for my project. This jig made it very easy. If you can draw a line, you can use this jig. I used both a drill press and a portable drill and got the same results. Prefer the portable drill just due to ease of use.

Perfect for accurate dowels
I have used this for several projects now and very happy with product and results. Accurately places hole where you want it. Easy to use - you'll have it mastered in minutes. Product quality seems high - all metal (steel and aluminum) no plastic parts to break.

Dowling Kit
The kit purchased from Rockler was well worth the money.
I have used it on several projects and will continue to use
it on more. Very well built and sturdy.

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.

I bought this because I needed to glue several pieces together. This jig made it a snap. All pieces aligned perfectly for gluing.

What in the world took me...
What in the world took me so long to get this jig? This is hands down the best jig I have ever owned. It is very sturdy and well made. Exceedingly easy to use it has taken all of the frustration and questionable results that I got from my previous doweling jig. Get this made in America jig, you will not regret it!

This is the first and only doweling jig I'll ever need. It is easy to use, accurate, and it works well with either an hand drill or drill press. Pair it up with brad-point bits and a stop collar to make your project go faster. I'll be using dowels more frequently on future projects because of this jig.

I bought one of these for my son, who used it to build a glider with good results. I recently purchased one for myself and have been very pleased with it - easy to use and very accurate. Works well both with a drill press and a hand drill. Dowels that come with the kit are uniform and superior to those I've bought at big box stores.

I'm making a media center and have used the jig to build the doors. It is very accurate and easy to use. I save a lot of time by not having to make mortise and tenon joints by hand.

This is really the best dowling jig for the amature carpenter. I tried other jigs, but they are not as user friendly. This jig makes dowling a snap. If you are doing a small squared table leg, you have to plan ahead by drilling two sides of the leg for a side piece and a front/back piece. Also make sure that the hole that you drill is deep enough for the dowel pin.

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.

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.

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 has opened up a whole new world of wood working
Sure I would love to spend $1K on a Festool Domino system, but this works very good. I have been able to use dowels in several situations that I could not do without this tool. I am impressed with the quality of the whole kit.
