Comment on Self-Centering Dowel Jig: An Old Favorite Gets Better by Howard Berman https://www.wwgoa.com/article/self-centering-dowel-jig-an-old-favorite-gets-better/comment-page-1/#comment-8938136 Tue, 23 May 2023 19:29:08 +0000 http://www.wwgoa.com/?p=139#comment-8938136 In reply to Discover Best Dowel Jig – Buyer's Guide & Reviews (Feb. 2018).

I have that same jig, and unlike others I have used, this one came with the holes properly centered. The others required tedious adjustments. Also, the jaws are perfectly parallel to one another allowing proper clamping. Not so, with the less expensive ones I have used. Other points: Good brad point bits are preferred for this jig. I also use a 12” single cut bastard file meant for filing metal. I use the dowels with linear flutes pressed in. I take each dowel and, using the file, I roll down the high points of the flutes. This allows the dowels to slide into the holes easily.

Rest assured that once in contact with the water in your glue, the dowels will expand to their original size. As an experiment, I first rolled the dowels and then soaked them in water for about one minute. I then assembled the joint with no glue. I allowed it to dry over night. The dowels expanded so much that the joint cracked before letting loose.

Indeed, let it soak for a few minutes and than allow it to dry and the dowel will have lost the flutes as the wood expanded to its pre-compressed state.

Would like some clarity in the photo or description to explain height of work piece and use of a level to set the height.

My career was in the aerospace industry,for 40 years I owned a small hardware business. I can say after 3-4 years buying from Lie-Nielsen is just like buying from my blue chip vendors. The quality is there the moment you put in your hand.
