    Well worth the money.

    This is by far better than the foreign made jig I had bought. Well worth the money. Handle is a little on the short side, but nothing that a small box end wrench (used for leverage) can't handle.

    Excellent product

    As a novice I first used this jig to piece together a tabletop...30 dowels, 60 holes, no problem. One thing the jig does not prevent...lining up on the wrong mark...make that 61 holes.

    A great tool!

    Great tool, and proudly made in the USA. It is very well designed and constructed. And it is easy to use. I used it for joining rail and stile in a panel door, and also for making a large cutting board. The only reason for not giving it 5 stars is because lining up the line on the drill guide is challenging on thicker stock (approaching 2 inches).

    I would buy this product again

    The only problem I see with it is only two of the holes are threaded. If you want a larger spread between dowels you have to move the jig. The threaded holes are about one inch apart.

    Great Jig

    The longer I woodwork, the lazier I get. I got this orginally for alignment of butt joints. I had a homemade jig, but was difficult to use on pieces longer than 3 feet. I got this to do some tabletops, but now use it for any joint that is not seen. I built a cabinet with drawers and instead of rabbeting the backs, I just used this; no loose or tight drawers. The jig is well built, accurate out of the box. The younger me would hate it because I didn't spend hours setting up a complicated joint, but I really wish this would have been one of the first jigs I bought. I took a rubber hammer to a test piece and the middles broke before the joint did.

    Deluxe Doweling Jig, mostly pro, one con

    The jig did the job well. It was sturdy & accurate and easy to align. The threaded areas were not well tapped. Only one receptacle would accept the threaded sleeve. I will need to fix this.

    Super accurate

    I love this purchase. I'll probably be using dowels more often now that I can get them perfect. This device is well made and really easy to use.

    My son loves it!

    My son asked for this product as a gift. He is an engineer and is very particular about everything! He researched doweling jigs and selected this one. I know it will be perfect!

    Versatile Product

    I rarely use dowels when building furniture - which is the bulk of my woodworking efforts, but this jig is exceptional in its self centering capabilities. When making the rails to a four posted bed, I used this jig to bore holes in the end of the rails for the bed bolts - worked perfectly. Not only were the holes centered accurately, but the resulting holes were straight and true - much better than using my usual home-made jigs.
