Levoite™ Pro Doweling Jig Kit Furniture Cam Lock Jig Minifix

By wrapping around your workpiece, you have stainless steel guide bushings on the end and the side at the same time, and they’re on exactly the same centerline.

Dowelling Jig for Furniture Fast Connecting Cam Fitting

Pax frames we just bought look the same as always, but the boxes didn’t seem as heavy and the vertical side panels made a weird “rainstick” noise when we lifted them up. They are visible on the outside of the unit unlike a cam-lock, so if that’s important maybe the cam-lock is worth the extra effort. I was very interested in the DowelMax, but after reviewing this one, coupled with the reviews posted, I opted to purchase it. Should probably start by assembling one frame, putting on a door, and sliding it against the wall to see how it works. I'm not aware of a jig, but if you get some of the cam locks, you can drill a hole in a piece of MDF (or whatever) and measure the distance from the screw shoulder to the center of the cam.If you use extremely hard wood or plastic, it will have less of a tendency to mar the wood you're trying to drill into but will still survive drilling through. There appears to be a skin stretched over an internal frame with reinforced corners where the cam locks go. Metal bushings included to ensure accurate alignment When drilling for perfectly positioned dowels every time. The precision-machined hole drilling guide kit is designed with a precision scale on the main body, which can be adjusted according to the thickness of the plate. I've been putting IKEA furniture together for many years and was just working on some pieces yesterday - their HAVSTA bookcases are really quite nice-looking and made of moderately heavy pine boards, so I like them.
