          Answer This Question

          A:  Yes, you can use it for Dowels.... but I'm sure you need a larger hole for your Cam Locks....unless you just want it to alone the holes.... and then drill for size...

            A:  I would think so, yes. But to be fair—I haven’t tried that.

            by|Nov 15, 2019

            A:  Only if the lock size is smaller than 3/8"

              Answer This Question

              A:  No carrying case, just the clear hard plastic and cardboard packaging. I use a cheap dollar store tool box to store my jig and companion bits and dowel pegs.

                      Good but don't trust the arrows
                      My first dowels were mis-aligned, and then I noticed that the small registration arrow is off center. How crazy is that? It is easy enough to ignore the arrows and sight through the hole; so for the remainder of my dowels were spot on. The collet and set screw are very hard to tighten, and kept coming loose. But even with these problems, I found the jig to be very useful and convenient. The metal frame and collars are robust enough to use a hand drill.

                        Don't buy!
                        The guides are off by 1.5/32". So when you assemble your pieces, they are off by 3/32".

                          Terrific time saver! I was hesitant to spend $30 for just one project, but my homemade jig was wearing out and I needed something fast so I took a chance on this product. Was I ever surprised at how much better it was from my homemade jig and so easier and faster to use. My "good" rating instead of "excellent" is because the drill collars were of a newer design that pinched the drill bit. However, it DID NOT even get close to squeezing/pinching tight enough to be of any use. I used a 3/8" pipe nipple and a washer to limit the drill bit depth instead! Awesome product, otherwise! (The included dowel pins seemed to be smaller in diameter than anticipated, so I would recommend not using them and buy a separate pack of dowel pins.

                          Drill Stops not square & set screw comes out
                          I purchase for some furniture repair the alignment mechanism is good. However the drill stops do not mount square to the drill bit and the set screw comes out of the stop before it reaches the drill bit. Eve it you mount it on the recessed flute the stop isn't square. The stop needs to be longer to keep it square to the drill bit. See attached pic top is General #841 and lower is an old Craftsman / General bit and drill stop.

                          It's going back
                          First, it is mispackaged, with no 5/16 bushing. Mispackaging happens. Instead, it came with two 3/8 bushings. One of them was improperly machined. The bit goes almost through but stops just hard shy. Second, and most importantly, I seem to need power tools to tighten the drill stop enough for it to work, and then only if it is high enough on the bit to be off the flutes. Making it useless for the intended job since the minimum depth I can depend on it with the 1/4 bit is over 1".
