Doweling Jig

[harryc]

Not sure exactly why but I feel I need a doweling jig can you guys recommend a jig that is easy to use but also accurate. I'm thinking along the line of using it for joining long boards instead of biscuits. Just feel it might be a more accurate way of aligning the boards.

Any advice appreciated.

I have a Record 148 dowelling jig which I reckon was one of the best ever made, but would go with the biscuit jointer every time for jointing boards. Significantly faster, more accurate and it will give you stronger joints.

Cheers :wink:

just been looking at the Dowelmax and it looks likes a decent jig and according to the marketing blurb it's the dogs.
Does anybody have any views on the Dowelmax

Joint Genie is good and accurate but not cheap (about £100).

I know this post is ancient but the Dowelmax with 10mm dowels is easy to use and extremely accurate, albeit not a fast production tool.

A Record 148 is usually cheap on an auction site, accurate and very useful. You can’t I believe get much better for a manual jig.

I have the wolfcraft dowelling jig - the one with the long alu rail not the dowel master, I find it accurate and fast. Clamp, drill and then slide the carriage along the rail. Also works for shelf pins etc.
