Review on Milescraft 13190003 1319 JointMate Handheld Dowel Jig - Black/Red by Jay Campbell

Hard plastic, same as Kreg products; The instructions are clear and concise and these products come in a box, just the bracket and the instructions. You need to buy dowel drill bits and centers and drill bit retaining rings if you want a good dowel carpentry kit. This is normal for me because I put masking tape on the depth gauge drill bit and drilled what I need. doesn't wobble and makes clean holes and it works better with dowel pins than the regular ones that you have to cut out because the pins expand with glue and fit great. The regular poplar dowels you need to cut have the exact same hole size and you need to use some "convincing" force to check the fit. Something really important for dowel joinery: your pieces need to be square, if the pieces aren't square you'll hear a lot of people complaining that they aren't accurate or don't fit together. I've done this and based on my own results it's easy. Square details = good job; non-square pieces = disappointment.
