I’ve used the dowelmax for years and love it. I have a tip you might like. When dry fitting if using many dowels like you did on the table, espically double rows it can be extremely hard to disassemble. I take some test dowels and lightly sand them and lightly spray paint them a bright color so dryfitting is very easy.

And store bought Domino tenons are the same way. I have about 20 or so of each thickness sanded down for dry fit. I just mark them with a Sharpie. But really you can tell because they are smooth and don't have the glue crinkles.

But it cant self center, right? Feels like you will never drill the holes exactly in the center... since the thickness of a board is never exactly a round number even if its supposed to. So flipping one board and then joining them together would result in the surfaces not aligning exactly anymore in my mind...

I think the benefit/advantage is that the check marks remind one of the two reference surfaces so the offset of the holes is consistent for mating pieces. It doesn't matter if they are 100% on the centreline. I bet a doughnut that no Domino mortise is ever 100% centred...and it doesn't matter. What matters is the consistent offset to the reference surface of mating pieces for either a tool, (say even biscuit joiner), or a jig, (Dowelmax or home grown). Having used a Domino, and put several mortises where they don't belong, I can see how this jig can work effectively and better in some ways to ensure alignment and placement. The Domino wiggles as every user will tell you and that is where some error will come in. Do I want both? Yes. Will I buy the Dowelmax and all its accessories before I buy a Domino? Yup.

@@TigerratcatI use the dowelmax because I HATE the look of pocket holes. If they are completely hidden then so be it, but usually they aren’t.. or they are used on objects like chairs that need the extra strength of the glue joint and even a beautifully hidden pocket hole isn’t a replacement for a dowel or good jointery. They are fantastic for cabinet frames in particular because it is all hidden and none of those connections should ever experience much shear or any wracking force(s)

I'm a Dowelmax user. I bought the entire system in all available sizes, plus the brilliant depth gauge for setting up the drill bit's stop collar. This is a FANTASTIC tool. The materials and machining are top notch. I'll probably pick up a Domino some day, but this really does everything that I need it to do and does it very well. With the depth gauge I probably have about $600 invested in the Dowelmax- I don't regret it at all. It's a joy to use.

As someone who has drilled thousands of holes using a dowelling jig (not the DowelMax), the key is a sharp drill bit. For a very long time I didn't realize this and I still have drilling nightmares. I'm sure the DowelMax is a fine product, but trust me: make sure your drill bit is sharp, otherwise drilling gets to be awfully fatiguing.

I have this jig and believe me, it is a load of crap, it is just another dowel jig; No better or worse than any other jig on the market, and much too much expensive. Don't waste your money. If you want to do dowel joinery, you can make your own simple jig that works as good as this one and it will cost you nothing. Don't get conned guys. This is my honest opinion of the jig and I paid for mine; Not a freebie so I didn't feel obligated to give a good report on it. These guys are paid influencers and their aim is to promote an item and brainwash you into buying it. If you buy this jig on an influencer's advice, you are a sucker.

Really good video showing all the different joint configurations. I just received my Dowelmax a week ago. I am 100% just a hobbyist woodwork and I definitely consider myself to be on the lower end of the skill curve. That being said, within 15 minutes of unboxing the jig, I was joining scraps of wood together with absolute professional results. I honestly can't stress enough how easy this thing is to use. I'm in Canada, so I paid just over $300 cdn for mine. And yes, that is a chunk of change for a tool that you don't plug in, but once you get it in your hands and feel the build quality, the price will make a lot more sense.

I have used a Dowelmax for many years. One project I made about 6 years ago comes to mind. My gym wanted new benches. Some customers weighed over 300 lbs and kept breaking their benches and chairs in the locker room. I made new benches 5 ft long with a shelf and center devider out of 3/4 inch birch plywood jointed using the dowelmax. No dowel ends were visible. I used rattle can paint to add some color. When they were finished I had used no screws and 69 dowels in each bench, all perfectly aligned. I recently checked out the benches and I could find no cracks or loose joints. A Dowelmax is well worth the price.

Otherwise, all three have given me yoman's service and I am well satisfied. Dowelmax...hmmm. Don't really use dowels other than cheap shelf pegs. I did when I first started (Reagan was Pres then...) but had heinous difficulty lining joints up after drilling. So...I made my own pocket hole jig that fit my auxiliary drill press table and used that for years until Kreg came along.

One pro tip that they don’t mention in the instructions is to use the pin to align the jig to the edge of the workpiece instead of by touch. So use the first hole for the pin and then drill into the second hole. Takes some of the uncertainty out of the hole locations.

Since you were building a heap of those stands anyway, it would have been interesting to compare the time savings between the dowelling jig and domino - to give folks an idea of what $1200 buys you in time.

Very interesting video demo' of this dowel jig. Like many other woodworkers, I'd love to own a Domino, but just can't justify the cost for the amount of use I'd get from it. Honestly, I'd rather sink the money into a decent cabinet saw. Nowadays, though, with the cost of material - even 4by2 - going cheap on the tools can end up costing more. I've tried the cheap dowel jigs - Wolfcraft, absolutely rubbish, wanders all over the place and takes forever to set up for all but the most basic joints - but they just don't give consistent, repeatable results. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

When you’re doing a video of that grizzly double dowler… can you also try out the triton dowling tool that looks exactly like it? My neighbor has one for sale for $50 and I’m thinking about it.

I think I have a Milescraft. Used it to mate MDF sheets to make a custom epoxy counter. These jigs work great, but I am still stoked to get my domino.

Here's hoping they'll introduce a metric version at some point. Looks like a really cool tool to use.

I bought a Dowelmax a few years ago and added the 1/4” guide bushings with it. I kept it for a couple weeks, thought about the price and decided I wasn’t going to spend $300 for a dowel jig so returned it. I wish I would have kept it, or at least used it once, but I couldn’t get past the price and, I thought for that price I’d just add some additional cash and buy a domino. Well, I never bought the domino because of the high price. Maybe I’ll try the dowelmax again, but no question the domino is a much faster, easier and far better choice if you have the cash. My problem is that if I get the domino I’ll want the Festool dust collector, then a Festool sander and I’ll be chugging the Kool-Aid at that point!

Triton also has a dowel jointer like the grizzly. I thought it did 3 but it is also 2 bits. Can't wait for the wen video too. Let's drill some holes and pound some pegs.

I have both and have used both extensively. I never use the the Dowelmax anymore. It works well but the Domino is MUCH faster and easier. IMHO

Dowelmax is a well machined tool that is easy to use and extremely accurate. Own the Beadlock Pro, the blue anodized joinery jig, we can put that in junk pile. On 45 miters, you can’t beat the domino.
