Gluing Dowels
Once all doweling holes have been drilled,
test-fit dowels with a "dry fit" prior to the
glue-up. Place a dowel in each groove,
and fit the pieces together to check for
proper alignment.
Once a proper fit is verified, apply glue to
workpiece edges and holes, insert dowels
into holes, then clamp according to the
needs of the material and the glue manu-
facturer's instructions.
4. Once drill bits reach full depth, slide
jointer body backward, allowing bits to
retract into base.
5. Turn doweling jointer OFF and wait
for motor to come to a complete stop
before setting tool down.
Using Tool Jigs
The Model T32540 is equipped with jig
teeth and a jig bar to enable fast and
accurate drilling with various doweling
jigs (not included) for high volume, repeti-
tious use. The operator can also construct
shop-made doweling jigs for this tool, but
building such a jig is beyond the scope of
this manual.
Note: Properly measure and mark your
workpieces to avoid incorrect doweling
placement and wasted material.
To operate tool with doweling jigs:
1. Secure jig(s) to workpiece in required
position after measuring.
2. Verify alignment of jig teeth or jig bar
with jig(s) (see
Figure 23).
3. Adjust drilling depth, fence angle, and
fence height according to the task
being performed.
4. Insert jig teeth or jig bar into teeth slots
of jig, and operate doweling jointer
according to
