Blekoo Self Centering Doweling Jig Kit

Krivy šunt

Okay...so I am relatively new to woodworking, but I have always appreciated good tools, and I can tell you that this tool has been a tremendous addition to my panoply of great tools! I am making a Prie Dieux / Prayer Kneeler for my daughter, and I have had to do some joinery to accomplish this task. Though this is my first time using dowels for woodworking (I told you I was new to it!), my project was greatly simplified by this product! First, I used it to make a jig, and then I used the jig to shallowly drill holes, and then I went back to this tool and used it (lining it up with the shallowly-drilled holes at the end of my board) to drill the deeper and perfectly-centered and straight holes I needed for my dowels. It worked perfectly! Additionally, the instructions were relatively well written and easy to understand! I would definitely purchase again, or if I knew anyone was getting into woodworking, I would give it to him or her as a gift! Awesome product! :-)

This BLEKOO doweling jig is a game-changer for repeatable joinery. The self-centering design and laser-engraved guides make aligning dowels fast and accurate. With 6 hardened steel bushings (1/4", 3/8", 5/16") and 5 fixed hole sizes up to 1/2", it handles everything from furniture frames to dowel joinery on round or square stock. The aircraft-grade aluminum body is rigid, and the clamp holds firm without slipping. It’s especially great for DIY and medium-duty shop projects, but the replaceable bushing feature is what gives this jig serious longevity. Just wish the 7/16" and 1/2" holes had bushings too still, excellent bang for the buck.

Works well

Centered on 3/4” pine nicely using the 3/8 far left quide. Did not try the others. Used it to draw a centerline with 0.5 mech pencil that fit nicely into the 3/8 sleeve - accurate. However, when I marked dowel spacing along the length the jig alignment markings were off by 1/64” and drilling was off considerably more. For accuracy, I used a brad point 3/8 bit to first dimple the location I wanted the dowel, inserted the bit into the jig without drill, slide the jig until the bit registered, tightened the jig then drilled. Will keep it for small projects knowing the time wasting work around for a cheap POS. Inserts go in ok but obiously out of a mold and not machined. Definately a trade off of quality for price.
