Joint Genie Professional 6mm Dowelling tool for precision jointing of furniture, diy projects, carpentry, garden furniture, kitchen fitting. Ideal for all woodworking needs where strong, precise jointing is required simple and easy to use dowel jig.

Professional and easy to learn and use dowelling tool. Within 5 minutes after unpacking my first dowelling joints where made. I needed a jointing construction for making furniture in a campervan. So I wanted to construct everything as light as possible with maximum use of space. I used 12mm thick plywood wich is the width of the 6mm Joint Genie. The general advise I found on using dowels is that they should be 1/3 of the thickness of your wood. So I was a bit afraid the construction would't be strong enough. But with some quick drying wood glue the cabinets are as strong as I hoped.It takes some figuring out of where to dril the holes and how deep. An extra (sharp) drill an drill stop is needed if you don't want to spent most of the time adjusting the drill stop. After I got the hang of it it is easy working. Most of the sawing of the boards was done at a local diy store. So I only needed to joint them together. I like that when you make mistakes such as drilling on the wrong spot, you won't see it after putting parts together. Or you can cover a drill hole at the wrong place up by putting a cut dowel in the hole. A huge advantage over screwing. For furniture making a longer Joint Genie would be handy but they don't have it for 6 mm dowels.You can make professional looking furniture as a starting diy carpenter. Hugely satisfying. I recommend this product to anyone who is thinking of making there own furniture of other woodwork where jointing is needed. Well worth the money

It works. Simple as that. I tend to use the screw holding method, rather than using clamps, because I find the clamps a fiddle. Either method works though. The joint is very strong, perhaps stronger than mortice & tenon. I have a small project, not yet glued, which has stood in a corner for several weeks and still held together. So, in summary, a simple, quick method of making very strong joints.

I already have an 8mm Craftsman so I was looking to extend my Joint-Genie joint making on thinner stock than the Craftsman is designed for. Hence the purchase. I have no complaints about the quality or the usefulness of this tool, just some advice to would be purchasers.This is minor stuff. Throw away the turbo screws supplied. They don't fit properly anyway; sitting proud of the top edge and getting in the way of the drill stop. Instead I would replace them with some 6 guage 1 inch/25 mm twinthread chipboard screws. These sit flush with the upper surface - and you're good to go.Happy joint making.

This really is a very clever and accurate dowel jig. Within hours of receipt I had assembled a frame that was destined for another form of jointing. I purchased the 6mm jig but forsee that I will have to have the 8mm or 10mm bar in my arsenal.The Joint Genie is not cheap but its quality and accuracy is of the highest order.

Very good quality and works as advertised. Maybe a bit fiddly to work with.

First class precise tool, makes dowell joints fit together.once you get the setting up process, it pays to go to joint genie web site and watch the video.

Very accurate if a bit pricey
