Straight to the point, thanks a lot

The problem is that it doesn't align the piece for you like rockler's.

This is one of the best instructional videos I've ever watched. You explained everything well and even provided tips and cautions. Thank you

Very thorough tutorial. Thank you!

Great job, bud. Using Forstner bits like that is brilliant. That's why I didn't think of it. 😂

You may be the only one on TH-cam who actually showed how it works in detail. Preciate it

Thank you. Best video about this tool I ve seen so far

I also dropped mine and broke off a peg. I used a small machine thread bolt to reattach it and it works fine.

I have it and it is crap

Interesting you made a good well intentioned video lacking one major missed point. The drill depth stop collar. You have it, you just ignore it. I am betting you have several outtakes because when you inserted the dowel it just disappeared into the hole that was drilled too deep. Go back and edit your video showing how and why the stop collar is needed. Then your video might be perfect.

Why can't drill hafe size dowel each board cant understand..?

Nice review and video, Might add the centering plugs and their use as well.

Very informative! Thanks! Needed to know how to use my new tool and your vid was the first I found.

Your centering can be solved by taking a wider board and drilling and installing one dowel. Then put your fence on and adjust it so it's setting the depth. Now take it to the board you want to use it on and use the fence to put it to center and drill the hole(s) where you want.

wow that was a great vid! didnt know dowel jig could be so easy!!

Thanks for your video! I watched it twice to understand how you can use it! I got a similar one from Wolfcraft and I am doing a cabinet project, you make it look so easy :-) I was reading the manual, but the English has errors in it and I could not understand it all how to use it, your video helped a lot, thank you!

Brilliantly explained.

Спасибо!👍

I bought this recently to add to my wood joining skills and tried it out today. It was pretty fiddly to use and compared to my pocket hole jig it is way more time consuming to apply. I'll stick to my pocket hole approach: quick and easy and is as strong as anything I'll ever need.

I have this, the older green version, for at least 10 years and used it extensively. It works really well and i made a lot of dowel connections with it. Once you are skilled with this tool, nothing beats the speed and precise working.

Great demo and tutorial.

Thank you so much. I have watched so many videos that do not show the most important part, how they line up. It’s dumbfounding to me how people put these videos out without showing how they line up. They leave out the whole purpose of what a dowel is used for, lineup… thanks for the video, I have a much better idea of what I will buy. Btw, it’s completely different from a pocket hole jig.

I think a work around for smaller stock is using that centering line, it just may be tough to hold against your workpiece, but add an extension piece next to it for balance.

This is the best demo of the jig I have seen. Thanks.

thanks for the great info

What brand of this jig

I would recommend looking at the supplied drill bits closely before trying to use them. Mine were quite wobbly which made the dowel holes bigger and reduced the precision when joining.

By far the best video on dowel joinery on YT! Fantastic. (The audio wasn't too good though). 😀

Excellent video thank you

The best explanation o n line going to get a jig tonight on anazon

simple clear and to the point ... Thank you -- subscribed and liked

Very helpful video. Can you please share the size of the bits you're using?

THANK YOU!!!! you made this very easy to understand and spoke very clearly. Appreciate it Bud. - Cheers.

Very good how-to video, thanks for sharing 👍

Great Video!

Can you do a 45 degree bevel or miter dowel joint with this jig?

Two sets of drill bits makes sense ... but what we _really_ need is just single additional bits. I know I can get individual twist drill bits (for metal, and less precise wood work) on cards at my local Ace Hardware store, but I have never seen brad point bits for precise woodworking there. The only way I know to get the collars, though, is to buy a full set ... bummer.

Super clear and easy to understand. Watching this video, I had more than one "Holy crap, I didn't know it could do that!" moments. Thank you 👍

A dowel jig can be just as fast as a domino and is a lot less expensive. Plus you can make different sized dowel joints easily and cheaply. Fast sting and effective, dowels are a under appreciated method of joinery.

How many times have folks done edge to edge joints?

Good job on the video it was just what I was looking for. I actually bought the same jig last year. Now I’m finally planning a project where I need it. Maybe I’ll tie string to it and hang from neck so I won’t drop it. If you think you will do a lot of dowel joints maybe it would be worthwhile to step up to a metal one.

Lovely vid, very clear thank you so much really helpful x

I watched a few videos on this. Yours is the best and easy to follow. Thank you!!!

Thank you 👍🏻

I think a regular mallet and chisel do the job much easier

You did a good job getting to the point fast most of us benefit from this to learn fast too Well Done jv

Thank you buddy, just brought one and wanted a quick guide, most guides only do one type of joint, which was the angle one.

Im going to be tring this with either my dremel or just a 1/2 drill bit to get the depth. thank you for putting the video together, I was hunting and hunting for what those brakcets/ mounts were called!!!!

When I use mine the boards are always crooked

This video is perfect for the projects I'm about to do... Forstner Bits, great idea... Thanks for posting the video...
