What it does
- Guides your drill bit straight and true so your dowel holes line up every time
- Works with a center marking gauge so you mark and drill faster without measuring twice
- Portable design means you carry it from project to project without extra bulk
- Fits 8mm dowels so you can join wood pieces with hidden, strong connections
- You drill cleaner holes and waste less wood on bad joints
Woodworking joints that stay put start with drilling straight dowel holes. This portable jig holds your workpiece steady and guides your drill bit right where it needs to go, so your dowels fit tight and your joints hold strong.
The jig works with a center marking gauge so you can mark your hole locations and drill them without guessing. It handles 8mm dowels, which are common for furniture and cabinet work. You get a tool that travels with you to the shop or the job site.
Stop fighting crooked holes and loose joints. This tool does the hard part for you.
