Pros & Cons
Pros
The instructions on the back of the package are good, and from there, it’s pretty intuitive. I am an extreme novice when it comes to this stuff. This is the tool she used and my results were as good as i wanted them to be because i am extremely fussy.... Read More
This dowel * is simple and a must have for anyone starting out with wood working. Works well for drilling dowel holes in to the side of a board. Put a clamp on it, drill, dowel.
The construction is of good quality. It makes wood working projects a breeze. Id buy it again though in a heartbeat. Was making a murphy bed cabinet for a rockler kit.
Cons
The concept is sound, but the * has a plexiglass surface. Not even worth the money as a beginner * for infrequent use. Also sold by rocker under their own name, but same cheap piece of trash. Will be returning.
Highlights
Quality
This is a high quality jig being made of steel.
Best, and most efficient way to drill dowel holes.
Be warned, you need 3 good clamps to made this work well, otherwise it will misalign often
Ended up using the milescraft jig on the faces since this is very awkward to clamp on a larger board.
Price
For a shop with limited space and not wanting to spend big money this is a great option.
I was going to make one of these myself, but after seeing the price of this it wasn't worth my time making one.
This is advertised as a cobalt drill bit which should be a real hard steel and it cost $18 with a stop collar and the jig.
The drill bit alone from dowelmax is $17.
Shipping
50 plus shipping and that drill bit is hss.
Competitiveness
First off, i have a dowelmax that is far superior to this jig.
The allen wrench for the collar is different from the kreg size, so i marked it.
I was surprised that one of the cheapest and simplest dowel jigs on amazon would work.
