I wanted to assemble furniture using dowels but I couldn't find any model that was accurate and sturdy enough to withstand the heat from drilling.

This jig is designed to assemble 18mm panels with 8mm dowels.

Making

• 1x jig
• 2x spacers
• 4x 608zz bearings

In each hole, press fit a 608zz bearing, followed by a spacer, and then another 608zz bearing.

Usage

The usage of this jig is straightforward:

1. align the two pieces to be assembled
2. mark each piece with a pencil
3. place and secure the jig and the piece together with a clamp
4. use a drill with an 8mm bit to drill the dowel holes
