READ THE INSTRUCTIONS or at least do a practice run I lost my Dowel Jig and bought a replacement. It’s a little different form my other one because mine had a dial. There are 3 holes on each side and I did not realize that they were for different offsets. I managed to get it together but it’s not square. Plus it doesn’t exactly work on 2 ½” wide boards because the clamp doesn’t connect with the board on the last hole. Luckily I have more wood, because I need to start over with a new board. I may even have to make an alignment jig for the dowel jig. I should cut this joint out and hang it on the wall as a reminder of what NOT to do. ;D

I'm always amazed at the jigs available to do certain procedures. I don't have fancy jigs like that, and I just use traditional methods if using dowels.

I would just make a quick jig using the drill press to drill the holes desired... ... clamp it, drill it... DONE... don't need no Fancy Jig... ;D
