Overall concept is good and dowel holes are precisely aligned. Drill bit bushings are nice and snug and do not allow drill bit wobble which is a problem on cheaper jigs. An extra spacer/clamp would be nice to keep both ends of the boards stationary while moving the drill jig to different positions

Delivered with missing pad on bottm of clamp did ot otice it and marred a beautiful piece of cherry. Fixable but unnecessary, also cut threads on the four clamps are rough and abrasive causing drag when clamping. Two minner issues are a distraction from an otherwise well thought doweling jig. Overal this unit rates a numerical value of a nine out ten.

    I am sure it works well for edge joining, what I needed was a jig that helped align doweling holes for an aquarium table. Trying to align dowel holes on table legs. Using one of the sections to drill all four legs did not align correctly with the opposing legs and the apron & stabling pieces. ideas?

    I have little woodworking experience, but used this to build some built in shelving including face frames for our basement. It is simple enough to use for a novice and gives accurate dowel holes. One improvement I would recommend is stamping the hole size on the block next to each row. It would save some set up time. It is certainly worth the money and helped me get the job done.

    The Milescraft JointPro Doweling jig is such a great tool if you are looking for something that will make drilling dowel holes easy! It's incredibly easy to alter the setup of the jig to accommodate what you are building, just a matter of unscrewing and tightening a couple screws. I had no problems drilling my holes, and by following the instructions in their video, I was able to easily set it up and the holes matched up perfectly! Would definitely recommend this product!

        Pretty well built jig. Looks as if it will take some abuse.

        Great value for the money!
        I have made a 7'x36" work bench top our of joined 2X12's and a farmhouse dining room table top. Both projects joined dowels and using this jig. It's easy to use and accurate.
