Misaligned tool guide lines
I'm only referring to the 5/16 part of the tool.The 5/16th drill bit that came with the set was bent, could not be used.The tools 5/16th drill bit guide, that is screwed on to the tool which guides the drill bit to the wood would not accept a 5/16th drill bit, I had to bore it with another 5/15 drill bit.The 5/16 drill bit stop was also of the wrong size, couldn't use it. After fixing these issues I proceeded to use the tool and drilled a bunch of holes in two panels for the dowels, no issues here, all ok. After I applied glued and put the panels together, noticed that they where off by 3/16" .I took apart the entire tool, added a ball bearing and spring under the set screw that guides the large screw with the handle. And also noticed that the drill bit guide lines scribed on the tool itself was off (hence the deviated panels after putting them together).After addressing these issues I was able to successfully use the tool as its intended purpose.I didn't return it because I had the means to repair it and was on a time crunch, otherwise, hb has what looks like the same tool for half the price minus the accessories.Maybe I just got a bad part from stock, idk, but the first thing I should had done was to check the accuracy of the tools scribed lines vs the drillbit tip on the pencil mark I made to drill the hole. So, l live and I learn.

Arrived having two defects
I ordered this product because of its relatively low price. I got what I paid for. When it arrived, I drilled dowel holes into a test piece of wood. The holes were not in the center. Turns out that the black center section was not in the middle between the blue fences. It was way off. I had to calibrate it. There are no instructions. Luckily there is a video on YT that explains the process. I did it and got it centered. Took over an hour.Then, when I attempted to drill another test piece of wood, I discovered that the two fences were not parallel. This makes using this jig very frustrating. Oh well, I'm just a hobbyist, a beginner. I'm not building world-class custom cabinets for Mr. Bezos's Gulfstream. So I kept rather than returning the jig.But if you are serious about your work, buy one that costs a lot more. You will thank me for your decision. How much is your time, frustration, and ruined pieces worth? Put all that into getting a great one instead of this one. I will, if I ever get serious about building furniture and what-not.Two stars rather than one because it has potential to be usable, if somebody would explain to me how to straighten out the one blue fence that is askew.__________Addendum March 28, 2024The vendor issued a full refund.

Could be better
Only used the 5/16 so far but it’s not lined up properly may be better with the other ones but on this one specifically the guide is not straight so your hole doesn’t match up with the register mark it has, it’s off by about an 8th of an inch. Still need to try it with the other holes but I have a feeling it may be the same.So overall not bad it does work pretty decent just have to offset your mark and the vise mechanism could be better would be nice if it had an off set handle so you could change sizes faster and have a better grip

Le encuentro holgura
Tiene bastante holgura y los agujeros si son largos, van ganando inclinación.
