About this generator

Mark your dowel positions, hook the fence over the board and drill straight, centered holes.

How to use

  1. Enter the dowel size and board thickness.
  2. Print it upside down as exported.
  3. Clamp it to the board and drill.

Printing tips

  • Clamp the jig: it shouldn't move while drilling.
  • Plastic wears: print a fresh one for a big project.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use it?

Hook the fence over the face of the board and clamp the jig in place. The guide holes are centered on the board's thickness, so drill straight through them.

Does it wear out?

Yes, slowly. The drill rubs on the plastic. For a big project, print a fresh jig.
