See more Review: Excellent product - I bought this to do some basic woodwork around the house. I made my wife a mission style full length mirror and a red oak book stand for her textbooks. I looked at many styles and price ranges for dowel jigs and decided on this one. It works fantastic! The dowel holes are precise and fit perfectly. The other reviews that talk about not lining up etc can only be attributed to the initial markings of the hole location. I plan on buying another jig so I can use the small clamp in the middle of a job and use the drill clamps on the ends, eliminates any movement during jig placement. If you are looking for a great, easy to use product, this is it. I have used it free hand with no clamping and even that worked very well. Given it is not "professional grade", for the weekend dusty warrior, it cant be beat. Review: Well designed jig - There are many doweling jigs out there that perform well; what sets this one apart from the others is that you can align and cut dowels into two boards at the same time. Dowel alignment can be tricky when just attempting to edge join two boards of the same thickness and length. Not all boards are created equal, you have slight twists or cups to potentially deal with. Add to the complexity the task of joining boards at various angles (think 45 degree mitered picture frame parts) and perhaps you can understand why the ability to line up both boards and drill the dowels at the same time can be a real advantage. Dowel holes have to be precise and misaligned holes are not forgiving in a project. I recently used this jig to build an A frame for a quilting rack. Many of the boards were at 15+ degree angles. The results were excellent and looked as if performed by a professional (which I am not by any means). This jig will not replace the need for other jigs. It has width limitations for one thing. But if you are working with dowel joinery with tricky angles and less than perfect boards, this jig will save you big headaches. ## Features - Produces uniform hole spacing to create professional corner, edge-to-edge and T-joints - Works with materials from 1/2 in to 1-1/4 in thick - Pre-aligned hole guides with hardened steel bushings take the hassle out of measuring and marking, saving you valuable time - Clamps to workstation for a sure grip and safer operation - This product will now be sold under the brand name of Richelieu Hardware. The same great quality, but with a new, refreshed look. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0000DD1P6 | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #489,128 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #1,199 in Power Tool Accessory Jigs | | Color | No Color | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (1,461) | | Date First Available | October 3, 2006 | | Included Components | Doweling Jig, 2 clamps, 3 depth stops, and 6 dowel pins in assorted sizes from 1/4-inch to 3/8-inch | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 1.9 pounds | | Item model number | R88708 | | Manufacturer | Richelieu | | Material | Plastic | | Part Number | R88708 | | Power Source | hand_powered | | Product Dimensions | 3 x 4.3 x 12.3 inches | | Size | No Size | | Warranty Description | Warranty | ## Images ![Richelieu R88708 Professional Doweling Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hjZ5IOfpL.jpg) ![Richelieu R88708 Professional Doweling Kit - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71am1STcBFL.jpg) ![Richelieu R88708 Professional Doweling Kit - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61AOlDZaL3L.jpg) ![Richelieu R88708 Professional Doweling Kit - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61QwMS4PwzL.jpg) ![Richelieu R88708 Professional Doweling Kit - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81e2wPHqS1L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: To those who gave good reviews. Why do you think a handful of reviewers claim jig is not accurate (holes off by 1/16 or 1/32)?** A: I bought one of these jigs from HomeDepot several years back, and the manufacturing tolerances of the bushings through which you drill are sufficiently sloppy that having holes 1/32” off even when you’re careful can easily happen. And if you are not careful, I could easily imagine 1/16” misalignment. I like the product in general, and it allows me to dowel things that would be nigh on impossible without a jig, but it is not overly precise. **Q: I see loose bushings in the picture, is it metric?** A: you mean the bushings that guide the drillbit attached to the jig? Yes, they're metric. But that's a good chance to change the bushings to fractional inches. **Q: Are there any smaller bushings than 1/4" available for this jig? Or can you use a 3rd party bushing with it?** A: The 1/4" dowel is the smallest one the device offers. In theory, it's possible to get a bushing and shove it in the 1/4" hole. I suppose if you had a 3D printer you could print one, just keep in mind that the existing bushing is permanently set in the jig and is not removable. Whatever you added to the jig would have to be flush with the top or else you would be making an indentation on the wood. This jig is not really hackable. **Q: Do any of the dowel holes center on 3/4 inch?** A: No, you need to modify this jig to get any centre hole. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product *by P***R on February 19, 2014* I bought this to do some basic woodwork around the house.

Dowel alignment can be tricky when just attempting to edge join two boards of the same thickness and length. Not all boards are created equal, you have slight twists or cups to potentially deal with.

My only complaint is the drill stops - the little set screws won't tighten down well enough to hold for more than 2-3 holes. The slot in it is shallow enough it strips if you try to crank it down tighter... I understand they want to sell an "everything included" kit, but Wolfcraft would be better off by just digging them out of every box, throwing them away and not being associated with them at all. And don't get me wrong, I would love to give it 5 stars because the jig itself is great and, imo, the process was fun once you get going. The problem is relying on the "kit" - getting everything set up, drilling your holes and all of a sudden, see the stop hit but feel the bit still going. So you stop, you realign/retighten the screw. You drill a couple more holes. Stop. Realign/retighten the screw. After about the fourth time I knew it was a matter of time before I drilled through the board and was almost p.o.'d enough to send the whole thing back. Fortunately, I also bought a set of Milescraft stops for 6 bucks, just in case. Got the new stop on my bit and over 30 holes later, still haven't had to mess with it. So in other words, 5 stars for a great jig, -1 star for really awful accessories. ## Frequently Bought Together - Richelieu R88708- Dowel Pro Doweling Jig Kit - WEN JN400D 400-Piece Fluted Dowel Pin Variety Bucket with 1/4, 5/16, and 3/8-inch Woodworking Dowels - DEWALT Drill Bit Set, Brad Point, 6-Piece (DW1720) , Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/2737086-richelieu-r88708-professional-doweling-kit](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/2737086-richelieu-r88708-professional-doweling-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
