So i'm new to the woodworking world and starting of with some simple items that I've found useful for our soon to be 2 year old to use (Toybox, Kitchen helper).
I've built mine using pocket screws but having had requests from friends and family i've been adjusting my design to allow it to be flatpacked and therefore decided to go down the dowel route.
I went ahead and bought the Triton TDJ600 despite some of the bad reviews out there hping that Triton had addressed the core issues but saddly have found out they haven't. I couldn't get a straight flush joint on 16 test pieces using 2 of Triton's Dowel Jointers so have given up on it.
I'm now looking for an alternative tool and wondered what others were using? I'd love the Domino but at the moment I just can't warrant investing so much in one tool just yet (reluctantly putting credit card away)
I'm looking to go back to a manual jig but want something better than my Wolfcraft Dowel Master that although accurate took time to switch between thicknesses of timber (Mainly 12 & 18mm sheet timber using 6/8mm dowels)
What are the best options out there and what are you all using that you'd either get again or not go near.
