Why did you choose this?
Rockler Store
I chose this item because my lumber is 1 5/8 thick and this will open up wide enough to use it to drill holes for my dowels and of course be centered.

I am making some cabinets for the garage. This is a very strong joint for building the face frames. I have used dowel joints in the past with some success. This jig will help align the holes easily and much more quickly than by eye.

James C on Nov 2, 2016
From the product data and the review comments, plus my experience using this same type of doweling jig during my high school years, over twenty years ago, I knew that this doweling jig works extremely well; it is easy to use, very accurate, and very well built.
KenEng. on Oct 16, 2016
It has the threaded inserts which can be modified for 1/8" dowels, etc. More recent copies of this item do not have this feature.
Donald M on Oct 14, 2016
I was in need of a doweling jig and I had $35 in Rockler gift cards. The set comes with dowel, glue and centering pins as well as the jig. Previous orders from Rockler were great so I'm giving them another shot. ROCK ON ROCKLER!!!

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.
I read in a review that there is plastic on it is this so ?
Bob H on Oct 12, 2016
BEST ANSWER: This tool is built like a brick. It is very accurate and easy to use. The more you use it the quicker you get with the tool. If it has plastic in it I do not know where it is. I have built doors shutters and picture frames.
GREAT TOOL
How tall is the pilot hole assembly?
Scott M on Jul 28, 2015
BEST ANSWER: Each of the aluminum sides is 2 3/4" tall. The center bushing plate is 1 1/2" tall.
does the complete doweling set come with bushings?
tom l on Dec 6, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Yes, everything you need to get started on your project. Love mine
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?
Ben B on Nov 19, 2017
BEST ANSWER: How deep? If you're not drilling more than a half an inch I would get the adjustable shelving jig that Rockler sells. Other wise you will be moving this jig often.

I thought this was very easy jig to use. I had a different one from many years ago from Sears. It never got me as perfect as this one or as fast.

Fast and easy
Fast and easy to use. It's not a complete kit although. You do need your own drill bits and drill bit guide stops. That's the only fault in their "complete" kit.
