This is an interesting carpentry system that gives the appearance of peg construction without the fuss and lengthy measurements. It takes some getting used to. I found the following things helpful. 1) The drill bit cuts very quickly, so be prepared. 2) It is important that the drill bit cuts to the bottom of the countersink otherwise the dowel will not go deep enough. 3) Because it cuts very deep, chip evacuation is poor, and if you can't get the chips out, the pin won't go all the way in. For small projects, you can flip it over the trash can. I think on larger projects a good use of shop-vac in the hole or compressed air will clear the chips. The beat alone does not cope with this task. 4) It is important to fix the product before drilling, doweling and gluing. I've tried sneaking in, first gluing things together and then drilling and doweling. the pressure of the incoming dowel tore one of the glued seams. I think I'll be using this fairly regularly for projects like kid's toy boxes or shelves. It's somehow more satisfying than glue/screws/dowels.
