Default Triton dowel machine.

Opinions, please.
NOT a Domino, but look at the price!
Credible manufacturer to boot.

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.

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.

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.

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