Is this self-centering bit made for Rockler by Insty Bit? What is the size of the jig hole or the outside diameter of the self centering bit sleave? Is it 3/8" or a different diameter? Does the jig plus bit combo come with a Rockler Insty bit or another brand of self-centering bit?

BEST ANSWER: My original order came with an Insty bit with the template. The holes in the template are 3/8 inch and the bit
I subsequently ordered for 5mm holes also was an Insty bit. There is a "step" on the bottom of the bit which is 3/8 inch which fits into the hole. Did not measure the outer diameter of the bit housing as the step ensures that the bit is centered. Hope this answers your questions.
What is the depth of the hole that the Insty Bit drills. I use an import plywood for the sides of my cabinets which is only 15/32'' thick and don't want to drill through the finished side?
Tim A on Jul 11, 2016
BEST ANSWER: About 7/16th inch
how do I put 9/32 bit in self-centering bit
Jim B on Mar 8, 2016
BEST ANSWER: If you have the 5mm assembly it will only take 5mm bit so you have to get the whole 9/32" set. The 9/32 & 5mm bits are sold seperately as a replacement.

Excellent product! Does exactly what it was meant to do!

I have used this jig on...
I have used this jig on three bookcases so far, and it works great. In the beginning I had some problems with tear out and slight spliting around the holes when using the jig with fairly soft wood e.g. poplar. It took some experimenting, but I finally realized that the problem was with the cordless drill I was using! i.e. it was not turning or rotating fast enough to do a clean job. I switched to my standard drill that plugs into a wall outlet and discovered that it runs at a higher speed. Drilling the holes at the higher speed resulted in very sharp, clean holes. This jig is a very good value and I highly recommend it.

Some caution when using pine because it is a soft wood the holes may not keep their shape. Shelf pins can sag if there is too much weight. Regardless, the Jig-It works great and is easy to use!

This is an excellent product for...
This is an excellent product for it's intended purpose. People have suggested many additions and improvements that, while certainly improving it, would also make it more expensive.There are already quite a few professional level shelf drilling systems available. I can't justify them for my limited use, therefore I am glad they don't improve this system until it's out of my range. It's not uncommon for companies to keep improving and adding to a product until the price and function are beyond the original target audience. Rockler has not done that to my great delight. This jig works great for a home shop to drill a few hundred shelf pin holes. If I were going to go into production, or drill thousands of holes, I would spend the money for a more robust and more expensive setup.Thanks Rockler for keeping it simple for the rest of us.A good product indeed.

Awesome tool and extremely accurate especially when you have to flip it end for end inside a cabinet. The storage compartments are really handy for storing the allen wrench and bit. I also store a 1/4" shelf pin in the same pocket for continuous drilling. I would highly recommend this to anyone. Money well worth spent!

I used this jig for approx. 72 holes and it already has a crack between a couple of holes. I was hoping the jig would of been made of lexan rather than plexiglass.

Misaligned
Bought this a while ago. The end to end alignment was not a problem, and the bit worked perfectly in the jig to drill each hole. The directions said to drill a row of holes, and use a shelf peg in the last hole you drilled and the first hole of the jig to continue drilling more holes. The edge of the jig was so misaligned, once you got beyond the third whole you couldn't get a shelf peg through the jig. They need a better jig to make this jig.

I have owned this jig for...
I have owned this jig for several years and have used it several times with minimal success. The plexiglass allows the jig to slide around regardless of the amount of clamping. I have tried double sided tape which improves the process somewhat but it introduces other challenges. Also there is far too much play in using a pin and the inset is locked in to two settings which limits applications. Plain old peg board is far superior to this jig.

Great Product
I reviewed several different jigs on the internet and this one seemed to be the best overall value. It works great and is easy to use. My only complaint would be that the self centering drill bit device tends to spin against the plastic jig which puts some wear on the jig itself but it will probably hold up sufficiently for the amount of use that it will get from me. I drilled couple hundred holes with no problem and expect it to last.
