Surprisingly accurate and works very well after minor modification

So far I've only used this dowel clamp for corner joints. It's fairly accurate and the corner joints are straight and flush. After reading the instructions, the application is relatively easy. There are some good videos on Youtube, but not in English. In the case of corner connections, the drilling depth for the side panel and shelf edge is different. It would therefore be nice if two drill stops were supplied for each drill size. Then you could use two drills instead of readjusting the drill…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Great Jig - Not So Great "Kit "

Good price, clear instructions, looks good, clips hold securely, easy to use, 5 shelving units already snapped together, use it . My only complaint is the drill stops - the small set screws don't tighten well enough to hold more than 2-3 holes. The hole in it is quite small and it will wear out as you try to tighten it. I understand they want to sell an all inclusive kit, but Wolfcraft would be better off if they just took them out of every box, threw them away and didn't associate them with…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Broadly ok but...

It's very useful. What was not clear to me prior to using the jig was how the dowel holes were located relative to the edges of the workpiece. For example, some jigs automatically center the

Sophisticated, smart but solid

I just finished my first project with them. I'm an aspiring carpenter who's also a frustrating perfectionist. Apologies for the incorrect terminology below. My project was a 1 x 4 shadow box frame, butt-to-back. I didn't want any visible screws or dowels with holes. I also don't have the workshop or experience to properly make complex dovetail joints. I also didn't want to spend a lot on extra wood because of bugs, even though I only used the finest pine. on a jig (it only has 3 sets of parts…

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
