Review on Jessem Model 08350 Dowelling Master by Will Micheals

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Totally boring. Only one is missing.

I bought this for a lounge chair project after seriously considering the Festool Domino. But I'm just a layman and can't justify the price of the domino (thorn with cone). I was looking for a less expensive option that still offered exceptional accuracy and spent a lot of time looking at and deciding between the two options and I wasn't disappointed. The thing exudes quality. It worked perfectly and gave me ultra-precise carpentry with the repeatability and reliability I was looking for. I bought a master kit as I need two sizes of dowels anyway and figured the whole kit would be good to have. The only complaint I have is that at the price of this kit and the number of loose parts with different sized drill guides and dowel pins it would be nice to even have a cheap blow molded case or box to keep things in order . But hey, we're woodworkers, so maybe a good dovetail storage box would do, considering the quality of this tool.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Flaws
