The doweling jig I use is the Dowelmax, and what sold me in the first five minutes was the accuracy—super, super accurate and repeatable every time. It’s fast, versatile, and once you start referencing face side to face side, you can get panels that come out dead flat with minimal cleanup.
You'll be taken to Dowelmax to complete your purchase.
Pros
- +Extremely accurate and repeatable
- +Works for edge, face, and end doweling
- +Supports multiple dowel sizes (3/8 is my most-used)
- +Fast for panel glue-ups with the spacing tool
Cons
- -Collar set screws can be proud and uncomfortable until you grind them flush
- -Depth issues can happen if a hole has debris or isn’t drilled deep enough
