Faster than a router for shelf stops.
I use this bit in conjunction with the Jig-It template for drilling holes in the sides of cabinets for shelf stops. It is much faster than setting up and using a router and produces a clean hole.

You buy the hole not the bit
This bit easily halves the time to drill bookshelf holes. Just push and move to the next one. It does not jam or clog with wood fibers and makes perfect holes.

No more off-center holes. A requirement for drilling with a jig.

There are many good shelf pin jigs on the market but this bit makes Rockler's the only one I've found that will drill for pin sleeves rather than bare pins.

You can't beat the time savings and professional results you get by using these bits and the "Jig-It" template for drilling holes in cabinets and bookcases as you build them.

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: Tested in store. Seemed to fit. Whu I bought them together. Have not used it yet though. I think it will work!
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
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.
How do I control the depth of the cut?
ted e on Dec 19, 2016
BEST ANSWER: You cannot without a lot of effort. It pushes to about 7/16 depth which is sufficient for the bracket pins.
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
Can a 5mm bit be put into the 1/4" product? Or any other bit for that matter?
Brad S on Jan 2, 2020
BEST ANSWER: The 5mm bit is 0.196” and you are wanting to fit this into an assembly that is designed for a 0.25” bit. The inside diameter of the centering mechanism may not hold/position the bit in the center of the housing. I would not take the chance. I suspect when you tighten the set screw, it will misalign the drill bit.
How to reassemble the Rockler Insty-Bit 1/4” Self-centering Bit?
Joec on Dec 14, 2018
BEST ANSWER: The bit is held in place with hex screw, spring would be installed under black drive collar.
In building the 43707 murphy bed it recommends purchasing items 32991 and 34368. Do you need item 34368 if you purchase 32991??
Charles B on Oct 30, 2017
BEST ANSWER: item 32991 comes with the bit, however if you are using the shelf pin sleeves like #81836 you will want to have bit #34368
