How to set the drill depth for drilling dowel holes
First, select the correct size dowel for the job - this will determine the size of your
dowel hole and which drill bit to use.
1.
Measure the midpoint in the
thickness of the first workpiece where
your dowel is going to be with a pencil.
Mark on the second workpiece where
you want the dowel to be. Make sure
the thick black block stop is on the end
of the jig.
2.
Using drill hole guide (the circular
metal part in the middle of the jig)
select the dowel hole size. To do so,
loosen the red tightening dial on top of
the jig, lift the black plastic plating that
partly covers the hole guide and rotate
the metal drill guide hole into the
required hole size, before fastening
the dial again.
