Does not show up at tritontools.com BUT I wonder how far apart the drill
are.. May not be suitable for face frames or rail and stile cabinet doors.

Web site that I found lists the drills has being 32mm between centers.

Basically, it's about 1.25 inches which could be considered suitable
for the average rail and stile face frame of 2 inches?

Probably comes with a jig attachment for shelf pins, too.

That might be a handy tool if some sort of incremental jig attachment
was formulated for shelf pins, except for the cost of the tool over a
simple jig.

I've always just marked shelf pin holes with a ruler and pencil and
then gone at them with a forstner bit and a piece of tap to indicate
depth. Guess I'm too cheap to buy a manufactured jig of some sort.
Admittedly, I've been fortunate not to blast through some project
coming out the finished side.

I've drilled for European style hinges with just a hand held cordless
drill, the key is measuring twice, never failed me yet.

The best was a double door closet, three holes each, the doors are about
7 1/2 feet tall, working just fine after about 8 years. Lots of
compliments on them.

I think they had multi-tasking in mind. If you're going to make a double
doweling machine, my not make the spacing a "standard" used in other
operations.

I don't think anyone buys it for shelf pins, but when it's sitting on
the shelf (pun) and you need to drill pin holes, go ahead and grab it.

Yeah, that would be a bit too wide for face frames. 32mm OC is about 1.25"
OC and then add at least .25" for the radius of the two dowels and if not
perfectly centered on a 1.5" wide face frame you would have a blow out on
one side or the other. I'd say a minimum of 2" for the face frames.

I have been using this jig and bit assy. since before 1998. Pick one up
while you are getting your Domino. ;~)

AAMOF the face frames in my kitchen are 1.75", it would not have worked on
them.

Actually, I mispoke when I said I've not bought a jig. I bought a few
of these some time ago, but usually can't find them when I'm ready to
drill holes for my shelving inserts.
