Triton dowel machine.
Opinions, please.
NOT a Domino, but look at the price! Credible manufacturer to boot. http://busybeetools.ca/cgi-bin/pictu...TITEM=TC500DWL |

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. -- Froz... The system will be down for 10 days for preventive maintenance. |

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. -- -MIKE- "Playing is not something I do at night, it's my function in life" --Elvin Jones (1927-2004) -- http://mikedrums.com ---remove "DOT" ^^^^ to reply |

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 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. http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/pag...at=1,180,42311 |
