Pocket Hole Jig Kit, longziming Woodworking 3 in1 Doweling Drilling Guide Kit 6/8/10/15mm Latest Version Self-Centered with Positioning Clip Adjustable Drilling Guide Puncher Locator Carpentry Tools

I have had this jig for about a week now and thought I would post my experiences having done a few dozen test joints.Firstly, it is a nicely made, solid jig. This may be obvious to most but despite what the description says, it is not a pocket hole jig, it is a dowel jig. It seems to be intended for making knock down furniture using metal connectors, but it does work for making dowel joints.The description is a little confusing, but for the avoidance of doubt, the kit includes 3 x 8mm drill guides, 1 x 6mm guide and 1 x 10mm guide. So if you are happy with 8mm dowel joints, you are all set, but if you want 6mm or 10mm joint, you will need to do some bush or guide repositioning during the drilling process. I am happy with 8mm joints, and if I want extra strength, I might put the 10mm guide in the centre position.The 3 guides are at 28mm centres. I like mine a little closer together, so I have 3d printed some spacer blocks to allow accurate repositioning of the wood to halve the spacing between the dowels.Care is needed in the set up, clamping and drilling. The jig clamp is good enough to hold the jig and wood together initially, but you will need to clamp the pack in a vice for the drilling. If you don’t, the chips rising out of the drilled hole will drive into the gap between the wood and the bush and push the two apart - moving the jig and spoiling the accuracy. As you drill, the drill bit turns clockwise, but bizarrely, the bush turns anti-clockwise, unscrewing itself and moving about. You will need to hold the bushes between your fingers or with a set of pliers to stop it turning.Overall, I like the jig, it is well made, solid, easy to use and accurate enough for me. I gave it a 1 for instructions as there aren’t any, but you should be able to work it out for yourself.

Main body well-made and robust. Only thing about is, that there is a bit too much clearance in the bushes for the drill size enough to misalign the edges.

Good and does what is said.

I made four cupboard doors aided by this jig and all dowels lined up perfectly. This tool made the dowelling process smooth and easy - not really possible with the cheaper plastic jigs available. Jig is well made and excellent value for money.

Only use in a trial run so far, but seems very accurate

Hi this seems to be an extremely well made tool it arrived today and I have not used it yet but after a very close install it looks ok it is quite heavy and made of metal with all the accessories that you would need I am very pleased with it so far and I think that it is well worth the price.

This handy little woodworking jig is very well made and comes with everything you need to make accurate holes for your woodwork projects. It is vey easy to use.
