Dual-Spindle Doweling Jointer DJ710, 710W 120V 60Hz, Wood Plate Dowel Joiner, 2X8mm and 2X6mm Drilling Bits, 80 Dowels

After reading some of the reviews here I was hesitant to buy this item. I love using dowels and figured it might be worth the risk, and it is definitely worth it! After following the set up instructions to get the window lined up and the depth gauge set accurately it was a breeze to use. I managed to sink 5x sets of dowel holes (20x total holes) in two boards in under in 2 minutes. They lined up accurately and everything glued together beautifully. The GOOD: -The shop vac hookup on the bottom works well and keeps dust under control, I ended up printing an adapter for my large shop vac. -It's very accurate once you get through the set up steps. Depth is really accurate and everything is quite solid for the price point. Hole diameters are spot on for standard dowels -The operation is very simple and straight forward, set your depth stop, line up with your mark and drill. -Power cord is a good thick gauge and doesn't leave me concerned. -Fast to use once you've got your work piece clamped and marked it lets you bang out dowel holes super fast The BAD: -Would like a handle on the stationary side of things to help keep the tool more firmly planted to the workpiece -Would like the power switch was oriented upwards for ambidextrous access. -It's a bit loud, but not much worse than any biscuit joiner I've ever used, so just use hearing protection. In summary: definitely recommend this tool.

i know what the stars say and a couple of off-colored reviews but i decided to give it a shot and see what the quality looked like, and i'm very glad i did. i did NOT place this order expecting to get a Festool Domino and therefore i wasnt setting myself up for disappointment. what i WAS looking for is something that could could quickly and easily perform cheap basic doweling function and do it in the format of my biscuit jointer. and it does just that. and might i add, does it with a certain amount of precision. there may be a little smidge of slop or a slight need of alignment window adjustments but it's all manageable. as i said this isnt german engineering at it's finest, and neither is the price. but i'm telling you it's decent. and i can layout and run this thing with 2 plunges and have a stronger joint than a domino and it literally took less than 15 seconds to perform the second plunge, AND ive still got $1500 in my pocket. i bought the whole kit so i got 3 different sizes of dowels and 4 different sizes of bits (6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm) and an extra set of the midsized bits (10mm) (5 sets total) also a decent bag and an extra set of brushes came with. hope this helps.

I purchased a dual spindle dowel tool for one reason only. To save time. That makes this a homerun. I'll be honest in saying that I wanted to purchase the Grizzly version. However they won't be back in stock for another 6 months. Too long to wait. I settled on the Iglooo because of the cost. I knew I wasn't going to be getting a Festool quality type tool. As expected from previous reviews, there is the issue with the alignment. In my case it wasn't with the left vs right alignment. My issue was with one bit drilling 1/8th inch higher than the other. After staring at it for a few minutes, I realized the top plate is actually a bit off. I made a few adjustments and got it level. I found the on/off switch very stiff and not able to turn it on with the hand holding the tool body. I am hoping that will loosen up a bit with use. I then added scribe marks to show where the drill bits would be so I can drill larger flat stock. Overall, once you spend an hour or two getting it set up right, it's a good tool worth having. Only question unanswered is will it last?

I really wanted this to work. It's a great concept but this tool is trash. The fence is not square to the other plate and this can not be adjusted. It makes it impossible to line up holes correctly. Maybe I got a bad one but I'm not willing to try again.

The perfect tool to combat the festool domino and its excessive price point. It does exactly what it says. It does just as clean, drills two dowel holes with various bit sizes. The alignment lines could use more contrast, but they work just as intended. could be improved with just a little bit of ink from a pen. if you need a Dowling machine and you keep eyeballing the festool domino buy this because it is well worth it. Many people say, they struggle with the alignment and the drill bits don’t drill precisely even, however, I’ve used this product in over 1000 dowels and I have not had an issue with alignments yet. I prefer to only use one drillbit not to, and that increases its accuracy.

Great tool for the price. However, you need to calibrate it before use. On my unit the 90 degree plate setting was off by a degree. Using my carpenter square I found 89 degrees on the tool was actually 90 degrees. Also, the clear plastic marker was not aligned. I had to loosen the three hex screws and align the markers with the points on the drill bits. Also, be sure to set the depth of the bits' cut to the appropriate size dowel. I'm using the tool to make picture frames. With the smallest dowels, I can use two dowels in a 1 and a half inch board. Anything smaller will only accommodate one dowel.

I only got to use it a little bit so far but so far I love it done a few test pieces and it all seemed very precise and super quick and convenient the holes it drills are perfectly clean. It definitely has that angle grinder noise so wear hearing protection. Unfortunately the plug is US type but the adaptor I got holds the plug in tight so no problem. I got this over the triton because it has more accessories was cheaper and has a little better reviews.

Schaut auf die technischen Daten! Es ist eine Maschine für US Netz, 120V 60Hz. Die kann in Europa gar nicht betrieben werden!!! Kein Wunder, wenn die dann das Rauchen anfängt. Ich habe mir das Typenschild zum Glück vorher angesehen. Es gibt auch eine 230V Version, schaut lieber mal bei dieser.

Toestel wordt geleverd met een US of UK? tweepolige stekker zonder aarding. Bijgevolg niet bruikbaar op het Be elektrisch netwerk. Bij navraag bij Amazon kreeg ik te horen dat ikzelf de stekker kon veranderen ( maar wat dan met de garantie?) of op eigen kosten een adapter stekker kon kopen. De chat klantendienst vertelde me ook dat ik dit had moeten specificeren op de website bij bestelling(??) . Achteraf bleek dat die keuze op de website bij bestelling niet mogelijk is. Of dit allemaal wettelijk zo in orde is laat ik in het midden maar qua klantenservice is dit niet ok. Omdat ik de machine nodig had bij een project , heb ik de adapter gekocht . De machine op zich werkt prima en heeft genoeg accessoires om een mooi werk af te leveren.

Excelente máquina , precisa el único detalle que he encontrado que solo sirve para materiales de 18 mm en adelante , por lo demás la recomiendo , buena calidad de materiales .

Non ancora provata ma è arrivata nei tempi corretti, ben imballata, sembra robusta
