Anyone know where to buy the above jig in the uk or similar?

Alternatively has anyone made one that could give me some tips please?

You could try Peter Sefton tool shop - probably don't carry it but may be able to add it to their next order.

An Axminster no 1 might be able to do the job but whether the holes are the right size, and in the right place, and whether the jig would fit where it is required only the OP would know.

I'm not sure the largest bush would be large enough to fit the dowel, however you might possibly have a hole in the right place which could be enlarged.

The Axminster kit is supplied with bushes for 6mm, 8mm and 10mm dowels.

^ This, they carry woodpecker stock, worth asking.

Whoops silly me for some reason I was thinking cam dowels even though I did look at the link lol . Anyway its still pretty much the same jig just different size and depth holes.

For doing cross dowels in the past I've just used my wolfcraft dowelling jig

Yeah, I have a basic dowel jig but am making beds to order to have a lot of these to drill. Like the idea of a single jig to drill both holes without marking out.

 

[martlewis]

Chippy, that jig you made is perfect as I already use router for the bolt holes.

Anyone know where I can pic up some steel inserts with M6 internal diameter?

 

[martlewis]

Found some, about £30 altogether. Thankfully found http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-drill-guide-kit

I'll make a jig using the inserts from that. Just happens to have the sizes I need.

Yeah that's what I thought you just need to change the hole sizes to suit your application.

Unfortunately the replacement insert set for the dowel jig @ £11.34 is currently out of stock.

The whole jig is available for £39.44.

I guess you could use the inserts from the Axminster Drill Guide Kit together with a home made jig to do the job.

If you needed two holes the same size, two sets would come to less than £20, rather than keep swapping the insert over.

 

[martlewis]

Yeah I ordered the drill guide kit. Gonna make an L shape jig with 2 inserts so I can drill both holes without moving the jig and know they'll intersect.

Axminster dowel jig arrived today so hopefully will get some time in workshop soon.
