Buy a jig or have them done by CNC?
Hi All
I am hoping someone may be able to give some insight, I wish to make some fitted book selves. I intend to use pegs to support / adjust the shelves, and I am concerned about how to drill the holes accurately. I am currently considering two options, buying a jig like this http://www.axminster.co.uk/product.a...55&src=froogle and using this or sending them to a local CNC routing company and having them do it. As way of background I would say I am ok when it comes to woodwork but I am certainly no cabinet maker. I am likely to build shelves again but not on a regular basis. Any advice or alternative options would be appreciated. Cheers Stuart |

Any advice or alternative options would be appreciated. Consider getting the metal strips and routing them in. No skill is needed, other than the proper flat-bottomed router bit and a straight edge to guide the router. The cut, as I recall, is about 3/16" deep by 5/8" wide per strip to get them flush, and then shelf support clips snap in and can be adjusted as desired. -- Nonny Suppose you were an idiot.

Cheers Stuart I have been using this jig for 15+ years and have drilled thousands of holes with it. http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?p...f%20hole%20jig |
