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

This thing was the best helper I could imagine. Adjusted to fit 21mm Multiplex for the New Bed of my daughter. Thank you very much for that Design!

I'm building my daughter's loft bed these days and need just such jig. Great thing, but I have adapted it to 21mm thick boards. I threw in some old ball bearings that were lying around. Printed from PETG HF from Bambu. Thanks to the designer!

Hi, I cut the original file in Bambu Studio. First I made a cut at the mating surface, then a cut at the narrow part to create the dimension of 10.5mm. Then I added a negative tube to get the clearance back at the intersection point.

I'll have to join 18mm boards soon and here's the perfect jig for it. Thanks for sharing! This will give some old skateboard bearings a second life :) Printed well in ABS, no supports.

The jig did a great job helping me with dowels on a recent project. I did find the bearings wanted to slip out, but adding some tape to hold them in place was sufficient. The design of the sights for alignment is brilliant and makes getting things in the right place very easy. Thanks for sharing!
