INSTRUCTIONS:
NOTE: In these instructions we will assume using the 5/16" diameter dowel,
nominal 3/4" thick boards and drilling with the 5/16" drill bit.
EDGE DOWELING:
SETTING THE COLLAR
AND DRILL DEPTH FOR
EDGE DOWELING
You will be drilling 3/4" deep dowel holes
in each piece so the 1-1/2" dowel will be
equally centered into both boards. In order
to correctly position the drill collar, you
need to add the thickness of the jig plus
the length of the bushing (1") to the
3/4" depth. Thus, to also allow for gluing,
set the collar slightly longer than 1-3/4" from the end of the drill.
NOTE:
When doweling stock that is greater than 1 inch thick,
registration may be alternated between the top and the
bottom surfaces to achieve balanced doweling (Fig. A).
PREPARING YOUR WORK PIECE
1. Draw location lines on the face of your work piece
where the dowel holes are to be drilled. Extend these
lines at least 2 inches in from the edge (Fig. B).
2. Select the drill bushing that fits the dowel size you
intend to use, and screw it into the long side of the
E•Z Pro Deluxe Doweling Jig Kit, using the hole that
centers on the thickness of the stock you are using
(Fig. C).
