784 Metric Shelf Pin Jig
784 Metric Shelf Pin Jig
- Can be used to make 5mm or 1/4" shelf pin holes with appropriate bit. This jigs compact size lets you use it in the tightest quarters.
- Lets you rout or drill either 5mm or 1/4" shelf pin holes. Drilling is easiest if your cabinet is already assembled. Routing is faster and produces a slightly cleaner/squarer hole on unassembled parts.
- Drill accepts 3/8" OD self-centering drills (order separately), or a guide bushing & router bit (order separately).
- Made of tough 1/4" thick phenolic.
- Drill NOT included.

does the job, good deal for the money
Excellent.
Nice jig, simple, accurate and works very well. Make sure to get a good quality 3/8"" OD self centering bit with a 5mm drill included. You cannot just use a 5mm bit in your drill and use it in this jig.
This jig worked well for me. Although it includes an alignment pin and aligment screws, I only used the pin because I found it easy to clamp one or two straightedges to the workpiece to keep the jig aligned. I used a plunge router with an up spiral bit. I prefer the plunge router since it is very fast and cuts very clean, but I have a self aligning drill bit bit in case I am using this jig in a more confined space. Although this jig is a bit small, the fact that it is simply a flat rectangle makes it more versatile in my opinion when you have clamps and a variety of straightedges at your disposal. This ig is made of a very durable plastic. I like it.
This jig is simple, which I prefer, and works very well. It makes shelf pin drilling very easy when paired with a template bit. I only wish they had a longer version...this is a little short for a full sized cabinet; requires too many transfers. It could also stand to ship with a second pin to make mid-sheet transferring easier/faster.
