Igooo Dual Spindle Dowel Joiner 45⁰ miter. Accurate?? Yes or No?

Watch as I use the $130 Igooo Dual Spindle Dowel Joiner from Amazon to join this miter countertop. Can it hang with the Domino??

That turned out awesome; thanks for making a video on this! Seems like you’re getting your money’s worth out of that tool 👍

[@woodwork740]

Absolutely! Like I said in the original video, I had a DF-500 and for the $1k I paid for it compared to this, I see no reason why you need to pay all that extra. They're both essentially alignment tools. The domino tenons are wider, but they're not adding strength to the joint really. I got the 10mm and 12mm cutter bits now (used the 12's in this video). After this video I clamped the joint, let it dry, and unclamped it the next day and that miter is solid as can be.

Thanks for both videos on the dowel cutter. Can you list the distance on center between the cutters or the most narrow width board to use to accommodate both holes?

nice!

Can’t wait to try that mouth open trick!
By the way is the igooo still holding up?

[@woodwork740]

Lol. The open mouth is key to proper alignment! And yep, still using it pretty consistently. For the money it's a must have in my opinion.

Do you have to buy their bits or just a normal bit?

[@woodwork740]

To be honest I just clicked on the "users who bought this also bought these" suggestion at the bottom of the tool link on Amazon. It showed the other sizes of bits. They weren't too expensive and still cut really nicely after hundreds of holes. They do have a flattened spot on the shaft where the Allen set screws deads into it to hold them in place.
