Description of πŸ”΄ JoyTube Self Centering Dowelling Jig: Accurate Imperial Dowel Joinery for Woodworking Enthusiasts - Cabinet Hardware Jig (Red)

The joinery punch locator is made of high-quality aluminum, which is strong and durable, with high hardness and corrosion resistance. The arm of the clamp is a parallelogram that is always reliable and will never find a dead point. Just align the finishing notch on the center rod of the fixture with the positioning pin position mark on the board, hold the fixture and drill. It is an ideal tool for mortise and mortise layout and for drilling through fixed alignment pin holes. 1/4”, 5/16”, 3/8”, suitable for clamping 17-60mm wood boards. The unique design is wavy on both sides. It is not easy to slip and it is a good tool for furniture factories and woodworking enthusiasts.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons

Marking Holes - Power Tool Parts & Accessories

The marking holes on this tool are too small for the point of a pencil to get in and on the wood. The centerline mark is critical to aligning the device to get an accurate hole pattern. Has anyone else had this experience?

Pros
  • Good Value
Cons
  • Some Problems

Great concept. not quite right

So the idea here is that the dowel holes are centered on the parallelogram - you hold the workpiece between the two sides of the parallelogram and the dowel holes are automatically centered. Should work right? However, it turned out that the dowel holes on the device that I received were not exactly in the middle. I'm not sure why, but if I hold the workpiece at one end and drill a hole and then hold it at the other end and drill a hole, the two holes don't line up exactly. It turns out they…

Pros
  • It's fun
Cons
  • There are downsides

No success out of the box.

1. No instructions. So I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong. Also, there are three pins in the kit that don't seem to make sense. One is actually 5/16" in diameter and the little one is not 1/4". A standard drill bit that fits drill bushings is messy. I don't have a set of pins so I can't measure, is it just a gap or is the set actually metric and a compromise.2. The parallelogram weakens as the drill vibrates against the drill sleeve. I tried really tightening the thumbscrews with pliers…
