Get incredibly strong, totally concealed joints with just your hand drill and the
Beadlock Pro Kit. Beadlock Pro does everything Beadlock Basic does, but adds greater capacity and
adjustability, plus the ability to create
traditional smooth-sided mortises.
Just pop the included paring block into the jig to provide an accurate guide
for your chisel. With a 3-1/2" width capacity, it will easily handle the large
joints found in tables, chairs and big casework. Slide the guide block along
the rails to place your mortise precisely where you want it. Includes Beadlock
Pro Jig, 3/8" drill bit, 3/8" stop collar, 3/8" Beadlock guide block, 3/8"
mortise paring guide block and a molded plastic case with added space for
the optional accessory kits. All Accessory Kits include corresponding guide
block, mortise paring guide block, HSS drill bit and stop collar.

I got my BeadLock Pro last week, and it is my new best friend. I built an end table using it and with the exception of one misaligned tenon (completely my fault), everything worked perfectly.
My order was also received 2 or 3 days sooner than I expected to get it.
Thanks for the great service and product.

Super system. Very easy to set up and use. Makes a strong joint. I practiced on a few pieces of scrap and then used the kit to build a porch glider bench. Turned out just great. Everybody wants one. I just ordered the 1/2" adapter Kit also. (I started with the 3/8" kit) Take time with your layout lines and line the jig up with its marking lines and you can't miss!

Purchased the Beadlock 3/8" kit initially but added the 1/4" later. I used the 3/8" for a bed headboard and two bedside tables. Everything worked great yielding firm tight joints. Be sure that your measurements are exact and the results will be great. I have used dowels as well as biscuits in the past but this beats all!

I thought the BeadLock Pro Joinery Kit worked just like it was advertised, and the instructions were easy to understand, too. Straight out of its case, everything was in order and ready to go. Like every new tool, once you've become familiar with it, you'll get the best results. I got great results right away!
My "test" project was a Monkey Swing seat made out of maple, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I agree the markings on the unit are a little wide, but if you're careful, and line everything up the same way each time, you won't have any problems. I didn't. It all comes down to common sense. Don't expect the tool to make the project for you while you go and get a cup of coffee.
I have a long line of projects waiting to use the BeadLock Pro Joinery Kit on!

The 3/8" Beadlock Pro joinery kit does what it says it will do. It worked perfect on a credence table I made for our church. I'm sure I will use it a lot in the future. Thank you

I used both the 1/2" and 3/8" set-up, as well as the 1/2" router bit stock cuter. Getting the stock cut correctly was tricky, but it worked well. The Beadlock system worked VERY WELL. I used it for mortise and tennons on 4 1/4", 2 1/8", 1 1/4", and 3/4" pieces (all for a Mission-style bed). The 4 1/4" piece was outside its range, so I took off the blue sides centered the guide, put it on my mark, clamped both ends, and it worked perfectly. I also had to use an irregular shape on one side and pieces that were too small to work and some that were too close to the edge - I simply put other pieces of wood where needed and got the desired effect. There is a little layout needed to center Beadlock, but I cut all of the mortises for each size together. The plans called for 10 mortise & tennon joints -I turned it into 20 Beadlock joints and did all of them in less time than it would have taken for the original 10. I also have very strong joints as a result. This product is wonderful - I bought the entire line , so I can do all 3 diameters (1/4", 3/8", & 1/2") and make my own stock as well, that way the stock is the same species as the rest of the project!

Just finished a small black walnut sofa table using the 1/4 Beadlock Pro Joinery Kit. It was easy to use (although the instructions were not that clear) and provided a good fit. I did make a temporary pass using pine before the finished product, and was very pleased. I have also used it for mortise and tenon joints without the beadlock tenons with good success.
