Thanks for the review. and the comparison of the different jigs. Comparing the pros and cons between the different models is so important in the decision making. I didn't even notice there wasn't an option for the 15mm hole until you mentioned it.

[@Timber2Toothpicks]

Dennis….I now own Two of these jigs. I am simply more confused than ever. I like both of them. I use both of them only in different aplacations. I used one on one build then after fussing with the same jig on a different job I removed it and went with the other… Which one? I own both of the two you compared. I agree with you 100% that I use the same one that you did on cabinet work. I just felt like I was spot on accurate. When doing cabinets accuracy screams back at you. You did a great job presenting them. I posted up a review before. This time I came in from my shop after using them side by side on a paying job and posted this review up… Very good comparison. I just built the cost of the jig into the total job cost. Easy !

[@MrPatdeeee]

Wow! Dennis we are back to our "awesome" 16/9 (1080p) HDTV. Thank you kind Sir. For, modern hand phones are OK. But when they are used on TV's and Monitor; it's NOT good. UNLESS they turn the phone 90 degrees. Yes...there are times; when it can be straight up!. Like a tower, etc. But for most of the time; when that large black nothing on each sides, is for the birds. Thanks again Dennis, and as I have said, "You are THE 'Cut-Above' in DIY'rs channels". We ❤always dear friend. Keep it going. For we❤it!

Thanks for the review Dennis. I'm very happy with my dowelmax, but out of those you showed, I think I'd prefer the drillpro because it has more drill guides. The less you have to stop your workflow to reposition a tool to keep things moving, the better. Merry christmas and happy new year!

Well done! See you next year!

Another great review Dennis it's all very confusing given the number of jigs out there, too choose the best for a particular task so your reviews help a lot. It's great to see you spending time with your Family, they help to keep you young 😆. My daughter recently had her first child a few weeks ago so we now have six Grandchildren, two boys and four girls 😁 to keep us busy, especially at Christmas. Sadly we lost our family dog "Barney" at the end of November he was only nine, but I know he had a great life with us and was such a character. Here's wishing you and your Family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[@HookedonWood]

Hi Colin, i saw it in one of your post at insta. Very sad. It most be though. We also know we will outlive our dogs. When everything will work according plan. But it will be though. We will find peace knowing they have a wonderful live. Thanks for all your support. Merry Christmas and happy New Year!

This looks like a great dowling jig Denis. I need to check it out. Thank you for the video.

[@streak0r]

Your videos are so nice to watch and I hardly have any tools myself. it's nice to see what I should invest in in the future once I take woodworking more serious.

[@Pilotlon46]

Thanks, Dennis. I agree with you, that more choices are better. I suffered a house fire this year, and every tool....from screwdriver to table saw....was destroyed. at age 77, it could easily be the end of my furniture making, but the "bug" will surely strike again, and I'm always interested in your tool reviews. Always top notch. I try not to look at your tool shop, however, the drool will short out my keyboard. 😂 Merry Christmas, and a very happy and prosperous New Year.

[@HookedonWood]

Wow, that does not sound good. I wish you all the best and try to see it as a new opportunity to create something great!

[@Timber2Toothpicks]

Dennis, how on earth are you going to keep up on this new rush of cowling jigs and pocket hole joiners? Everyone is making them then remaking them. Jessem now has another new one. Man you are going to gro broke! Keep up your good work! BTW… You have a handsome family… and a dog!

Hi Dennis. I bought the silver WNEW on your recommendation - which as others have said I trusted completely. So glad that it still stacks up and I don't need to get jig envy over the new one! Have a great Christmas with your family and thanks for the amazing content. Ps. I just made your mitre saw fence with removable zero clearance block. What a difference!

[@danazlin3409]

For those of us in the US, it would be nice if these tools came in SAE sizes. The metric versions would require too much retooling to be practical.

Hey Dennis, have you taken a look at the new “bridge city” tools on banggood?

Hallo dennis, can you please tell me where to get those Clamps from this Video? Thank`s a lot! 🤗

[@andre1987eph]

Correct me if I'm wrong: The fatal flaw in all these precision "Made in China" doweling jigs is their drill bit bushings are made of aluminum (and not hardened steel)? An aluminum bushing vs a steel drill bit is not going to fare well over time.

[@McCartWoodworks]

Thank you for these reviews they are great. I have a question about your workbench plans and sent a couple messages via your site but have not gotten a response. Hope to hear back from you soon so I can purchase those plans. Keep up the good work.

[@scottfoster2203]

Where can I get one of these jigs?

[@gotenianiki]

Hello Dennis, can you compare this jig with Dowelmax Joining System?

[@HookedonWood]

The dowelmax is another kind of doweling jig and even more into furniture joining. The Dowelmax is also more overbuild and of exceptional quality. I have had a Dowelmax clone, but from a bad quality, so not comparable from that point of view. But I did not liked the way it worked. I find this easier. But again, when you want to make chairs, the Dowelmax is hard to beat.

[@gotenianiki]

@@HookedonWood Thank you for the detailed answer.

[@jonathangaliano2617]

What makes the Dowelmax more gears towards furniture making?@@HookedonWood

[@btrswt35]

I will never buy anything from bang good again! I ordered a dowel cutter that had imperial sizing. They sent me the metric version. I contacted the customer service and they said I could return it and get a replacement but I had to pay for the shipping?! They mixed up the order yet the customer has to pay to correct it? Also potentially wait weeks for the replacement? I asked for a partial refund, they said no because there wasn't anything wrong with the item!!! It was the wrong thing, so yes fundamentally there was something wrong with it! If fact, I didn't order that item! There are to many other online retailers that stand behind their service that I will do my business elsewhere.

[@3dmazter]

Great video but man You scared me to death with the cut scene of the channel . that sound got me.😅

[@bobbyj0708]

I just got the Drill Pro a few days ago and even though it's the lowest rated of the three doweling jigs I really believe you couldn't go wrong with any of them.

[@Goggalor624]

Love these videos but I'm honestly a little scared to buy stuff from Banggood. I've read SO many horror stories about them. Curious if others have purchased these items from them and how it went.

[@3frogltd987]

I have not purchased any of these doweling jigs yet, but have had good results from other tools/jigs from Banggood. You do need to study their listings well before ordering. The prices are a little deceptive, such as the Wnew dowel jigs. They show the primary jig but the low price listed is for an accessory kit. Also make sure the unit ordered is from the same warehouse as listed with the product pictured. They often have multiple listings for the same tool but prices vary depending if it's shipped from US, CN, or China.

[@rossrobinson4834]

I have the Drill Pro, I do not recommend it. The bushings are not well aligned such that you can rely on aligning the dowel holes based on the sides of the jig and the grub screws are very low quality. I am always looking for a new one, thus watching this video.

This wheel does not provide a sufficiently wide base, when you lay the jig onto a small thickness panel. You reviews are not honest.
