If it didn't break so easily, I would have given more stars. Sent the first one back because the plastic was broken in the unopened package. Got the second one and the plastic cracked within a half hour of starting to use it. This is for a wood shop. Needs to be much more durable.

Bought this after seeing someone use in a YouTube video. Was better than I expected, made with well marked and thick clear plastic for placement/clambing, and featuring deep and sturdy guides for the included 1/2" drill bit and collar. I'll be able to use this tool for a good long while, and certainly beats buying an expensive "domino" jig for my large, but infrequent woodworking projects.

Seems well made and drills clean holes. To use for drilling shelf pin holes you would either have to buy the Powertec jig or make your own custom one.

This 1/4” centering bit is well made and works good with clean holes. I took one star off because it definitely clogs more than any other centering bits I’ve owned. (See photos)

The main issue with this product is two fold:One: the drill bit mechanism binds terribly as it gets packed full of wood shavings. I managed to meditate this somewhat with some "WD-40 Specialist Dry Lube" but that mostly just stopped the spring from binding on the collar as it compressed during use.Two: the fixture itself is just plain acrylic so it is not abrasion resistant at all. As the collar on the bit binds it spins on the fixture and wears out the holes prematurely. After drilling maybe 100 holes or so I'm not sure I'll be able to use it again for anything that needs to be accurate.The good news is that it definitely does what it's supposed to. Clamp it to your work and drill away. Lining up the holes is pretty easy with the guide holes provided and either end. I would just like to have seen a little more forethought put into the design and construction.

Does what it says it does. Very easy to set up and use. I find it accurate as long as your not using a fat marker to make the lines lol.

First of all, this is a heavy duty jig, the acrylic is thick and the dowel jig part is a thick piece of aluminum. There is some weight to this jig. I got this to put some wood screen frames together for a old 50's house that the owner wanted originality. Some were small, some large frames (32"×55"). This jig worked really well and the frames lined up very nicely.Super easy to use, the drill bit was sharp and the index lines were easy to see. The frame corners were strong and tight.I had ordered wood dowel here too but, they were a little smaller in diameter, causing some play. I got some other dowels from a local woodworking store and they worked well with no play in the dowels.So simple to use with great results!

Es un producto de muy buena calidad.Un par de observaciones:1. Si lo dejas caer es posible que la sección de plastico se astille un poco, aunque no se quiebre debido a que tiene un grosor adecuado.2. Permite perforar solo a cierta distancia del borde, a diferencia de otros jigs. Usualmente es suficiente para tener una unión fuerte, pero no puedes elegir libremente donde perforar (aunque con un poco de ingenio puedes imaginar algunas formas de sujetarlo y salirte con la tuya).Por otro lado, para la mayoría de aplicaciones funciona perfecto, sobretodo me encanta que es sumamente práctico y fácil de usar, puedes hacer múltiples uniones en cuestión de minutos. Además de que viene con una broca de buena calidad, el collar para fijar la profundidad y la llave para ajustarloLo que lo recomiendo!

Picked this up to use in case the time arrives when i need to use a dowel. I did a few test runs and it works well.

muy buen producto, lo he usado en mas de 200 perforaciones y acabo de cambiarle broca. ahora le puse 3/16. la recorte con esmeril para que se ajustara igual que la original. y funcionó de maravilla. me gusto el tornillo de ajuste es muy dificil que se barra aunque el precio es algo elevado para una broca de su tipo. por eso la calificación.
