I read that the bits dulled and there were other potential issues so I wanted a back up just in case.

Roger S on Apr 26, 2016
I accidentally bought the wrong size shelf pegs, so now I need the appropriate bits for the Jig-It system I already own. The Jig-It system is way better than the locking collars/tape that I used previously to drill holes for the shelf pegs.

G W on Nov 13, 2015
I build custom cabinets. As of right now I don't have the space or the funding to purchase bigger equipment so this is an affordable and practical option. Works great with the template to drill shelf pin holes, just takes a bit longer having to do the holes one by one.

Does this bit (iItem 34368) fit the Bench Dog Shelf Pin Jig (Item #46350)? Or just the Rockler JigIt system?
Kevin M on Jun 1, 2015
BEST ANSWER: The INSTY-BIT fits Bench Dog and Rockler adjustable shelf jigs.
Do you sell 9/32" replacement bits?
Jeremy J on Feb 26, 2016
BEST ANSWER: 34329 is the replacement bit http://www.rockler.com/game-drilling-router-bits
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?

JIG IT® Shelving Jig w/Self-Centering Bit
JIG IT® Shelving Jig w/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.

These bits together with the shelf...
These bits together with the shelf jig-it make drilling shelf pin holes a breeze. Word of caution however if you need to adjust the depth of the bit - do NOT unscrew the small inset screw more then necessary to loosen the bit. Removing the screw farther results in the entire spring loaded mechanism to fly apart. It can be put back together but takes some patience.

I have owned and used this...
I have owned and used this self centering bit and the shelf jig it for years and drilled thousands of holes with it and it works great and is a big timesaver.the problem with chip removal,if yoy drill your hole and then run the drill bit back into the hole a second time it clears the chips most of the time.Also a dull drill bit will clog more often and a corded drill that runs higher rpms works better than a slower cordless drill.

This is one of those tools...
This is one of those tools that you end up wishing you had gotten years ago. Along with the shelving jig, it will raise your level of precision and provide you with personal satisfaction in your projects. If you do happen to accidentally dismantle the spring loaded assembly like I did, the easiest way to put it back together is to assemble it without the spring first and lock down the set screw. Then remove the spring retaining spring clip which is at the front below the chip clearing holes, slide the brass washer, spring and stainless washer in that order over the assembly! compress these three parts with needle nose pliers and snap the spring clip back into position where the score mark is around the barrel. I found using a bench vise to hold the base of the bit while doing this is best.

The bit was awesome, and worked...
The bit was awesome, and worked with the shelf pin jig-it jig brilliantly. Sometimes wood chips would build up in the spring mechanism but that was of no consequence. Well done Rockler.

The self centering drill bit is...
The self centering drill bit is very nice. It can be used directly with the hardware as well as the Jig-It. It makes for much better fitting screws/hardware with no screw heads leaving an edge or lip. This is a keeper!

I used this bit to make...
I used this bit to make shelf pin holes using your shelf pin jig. I made kitchen cabinets for my son. I plan to make another 30 linear feet of cabinets for the same project. I used the cabinet screws made on the same order to mount the cabinets. Both are excellent.

I'm making a craftsman style book case divider and used the bit to put shelves in. Several years ago I purchased a jig from you not realizing a centering bit was needed! What a slick product the centering bit is!
