You were disappointed with the aluminium dowel jig because it is a very poor copy of the @Dowelmax doweling jig. The Dowelmax is by far the best doweling jig available and I’ve been using it for many years. The build quality and accuracy of genuine Dowelmax is unmatched and worth every dollar.
It’s really fantastic to have someone like this who is among the best woodworking product reviewers. Yet he isn’t tied to the “most expensive name brand tools are always best.” approach. Instead he is very honest about the strengths and weaknesses of whatever he’s reviewing and understands that there are some hidden treasures among the Chinese made stuff. Are they knockoffs? Yes to a large degree but some of these companies are pretty good at making improvements. Just love this guys approach and attitude.
The genuine Dowelmax is a great jig, unlike that cheap knockoff. Sometimes you get what you pay for.
Thank you for comparing the DRILLPRO with the ENJOYWOOD. This allowed me to purchase the best drilling jig which is, in my opinion, the DrillPro found at $74 with the carrying case included.
I'm thinking of buying the Drillpro and your video is very helpful. And for practical reasons, I think replacing some of the annoying screws with large enough hand-twist screws might make it easier to do jobs that require constant setup changes (such as adding shelves)
Hi Dennis, thanks for the 3-way comparo. I had bought a jig which at first I thought was the same one as the plain Aluminium item, but mine was a so-called self-centering jig, that relied on a left/right threaded screw, but which was about 1mm off on the centring. It's a nice paperweight...
Ah, now I understand why Dowelmax has that "Buyer Beware" warning about cheap Chinese knock-offs on their site!
Another great review and well done for incorporating previous reviews of similar products. Super comprehensive 👍👍👍
Excellent video. I always enjoy your comments and recommendations. I get to learn the weaknesses of a product before I spend my money. Thanks
Great to see you back in good health! I was hesitating between the drill pro and Wnew in my last order and I couldn’t make up my mind. Seems this video came at just the right time!
You have hit another homer! Thank you as always.
Fantastic review and comparison, Dennis! Thanks a bunch! 😃
I have the WNEW version from your recommendation and I love it. It's so easy to use and I'm using it all the time for various reasons.
Thank you for sharing your review of these doweling jigs. They each have a a good use in certain situations. Stay warm, safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
This video is clear, concise and comprehensive ! Thank you Dennis. 5/5. 👏👍😀
Thank you for the video. I still don’t know which one I will buy but your video gives a great explanation of these.
Great video and helped me choose the drill pro. I’ve now built a few workshop cabinets and the drill pro jig was easy once you figure out how to remember clamp orientation for face to end joints.
Excellent review as always. What always stands is how objective these reviews are - I know I'm getting good advice. So many other reviewers' views appear to be biased when they receive a product for free.
Really good review. You have earned yourself a new subscriber 😀
Once again, an excellent review.
