    Comments about Premium Doweling Jig :

    I used this jig in my woodworking club at school. The kids and I used this to make simple but joints for 4X6 picture frames. The only error came from moving too fast to get the project done. When time was taken, all the students were able to drill properly placed holes and in the end, the parents were jumping for joy. It works great and will be in my shop for a long time, or until it gets run over by a tank.

    Comments about Premium Doweling Jig :

    Usually when using dowels, more than one dowel is needed to give strength to a joint. The problem is in the alignment of the dowel holes with the mating part of the joint. There is no margin for error. This jig provides for two equally sized holes in the jig so that matching the holes to the mating joint yields an exact alignment of the holes. I personally do not know how one can match more than one hole in a joint without using this type of system. I have found this jig to be well made and it works very well for its purpose.

    Cons

    • Small turn handle

    Best Uses

    Comments about Premium Doweling Jig :

    The next step up from this tool is about 6 times as expensive. I'll work within the mild limitations of this tool thank-you. Centers well; sometimes just a bit off, but workable with the final sanding. Much easier to place from the end edge if a spacer is used. Just place the jig on a flat surface on end, place a premeasured spacer board in the slot, and place the board to be drilled on top of that. Placement becomes consistant with every board such as putting a face frame together. Tip, make the spacer just a tad less wide than your piece to be drilled; it will slip out of you way after you tighten the clamp. The handle that tightens the whole thing up is too short, and it's, therefore, a bit difficult to pop the jig back open. FOR THE MONEY, it works just fine.
