I would pay over $100... If the setup were "fixed" (ie. I didn't have to adjust it to the router table.. some method was used to insure the mounting was correct every time) I would probably pay up to $400. Being able to make accurate dowels out the the same wood stock I'm building a unit with would be enough for me to splurge. It would need to be reliable and durable, though.. as the reason I would spend that is that I would use it with literally every project I used dowels on. I hope you decide to produce one.

UTTERLY TREMENDOUS JOB!!!🫡☮❤♾

Genius technique!!

what do you use for the thickness on the round alum parts ,and how big is the round parts i know some one just go the drawing on it he is kind of confuse for the dia ty

You are nearly metric. Just readjust your basic complexity and relax the perfection factor. I never imagined that anyone could complicate such a simple process. Do you starch and press your underwear.

Got those serial killer vibes

This is not turning:D This is dust catching ;D

Take a 2 inch piece of 1/4 srlteel flatbar 10 onches long drill a 1/4 inch hole in it if tgats the diameter of dowel you want. Take a dremmel tool with a small thin cut off wheel and make multiple cuts around the 1/4 in hole, both sides. Taper your 5/16 inch square cut piece of wood on both ends. One end goes into your drill the other into the flatbar. Makes killer dowels only takes 10 min top to make and it practically free. Keep it simple n cheap

Clever design. We shared this video on our homemade tool forum last week 😎

NICE WORK AND VIDEO

You can try to put a drill bit into it to check good placement of the cutter. On mine it was way too close from the axis (about 0,6mm). Indeed, in this case the whole stability is compromise as the dowel is not properly guided which amllify the problem...

$100 would be a very fair price. sign me up for one please

Painfully poorly described item. Couldn’t finish it.

You only sell your plan to US and Canada? can you add more country, I'm from Indonesia , thank you

This is pretty cool. Thank you for sharing. Do one for Domino's next 😂

Самый простой способ копирования! Беру на вооружение. Привет из Санкт-Петербурга! 💛💙

What a great design. Would definitely replace my cabinet saw for this given how much space it takes up in my garage and the type of projects I'm working on. Great vid!

I have a sliding saw idea you have not seen. I am going to build a sliding table for my mark v 510. I should be able to do it in the next few months. I just purchase $300 in router molderbits. I got the bright idea to save my daughter a few bucks. She is a artist and she was bitching about the cost of a canvas. So I started making little frames to stretch the canvas on and gave her 5 or 6 canvases. Then I thought man her art would really look good if it is framed. So to save her a few bucks I had to spend $300. Lol . I love the approach you took on it. I seen a video of a add on slide table and he mounted the rails to the base and the slide blocks under the bottom side of the sled/slider. h=He then had to brace his underside of the table slide. I said man the base needs the bearings and the slide the track & no need to brace the carriage because the rail will. Then I got the idea to build a removable one for the mark V. I like building tool IU use. My profile has a scroll saw and 2x72 grinder I built

Isn’t the pic of the chair you’re duplicating by Thomas Moser?

What on earth is one sixtyforth

If you would use a ball nose bit you probably could make it in one pass and cut pretty smooth

The router part blew miy mind the most lol. Great video. I'll be checking michaels vid out for sure.

You just bla bla too much talking . No understand about video ...waste data.. block channel ...

Hello friend! I love this, I have some ideas and am interested in chatting with you. Are you on instagram?

I am currently getting into building my own arrows for archery and upon doing research I came upon this video. I am searching for the best "dowel maker" for the money.( Buget is pretty tight.) While i can't justify $450-$10000, i would definitely break my own arm reaching for my wallet to drop $100 or so on this. I will be keeping my eye out for this even of i have to put a slight pause on my endeavors. I pray this does in fact hit the market soon.

I used th 8020, 3034-Lite, 15 Series 3" x 0.75" Aluminum T-Slot Extrusion x 48" available from same store at OP link. 3” tall and no slots on th blade side - which he mentions would be better. Agreed.

Hello! I bought the same one. Had the same problem till I ran the drill the other way. Try running the drill in reverse. It works! Good Luck!

Great design! Consider the traditional archery market for making arrow shafting. Normally only 3 sizes: 23/64, 11/32 and 5/16.

Given an upgrade in fit & finish and the inclusion of base that would allow attachment of the jig to an Incra LS positioner (for dust control and 0.001" side to side adjustment) and a set sprockets for various wood sizes... I'd pay in the range of $300 - $400 (U.S.). Keep in mind your competitor for quality dowel finish is the Master Veritas Dowel Maker System (which I own). The veritas master system prices in at roughly $450. Good as the Veritas system is, it is finicky and prone to jamming. The proto-type you've demonstrated appears superior to the Veritas system and far more likely to produce smoother dowels with less effort..

Great job! Especially love your efforts at dust collection

When will they be back in stock ? Will you make them in metric for us europeans without at foot fetish ;D

the plasma/jet holes in that aluminum look a bit narly , probably work better to have them machined .......don't need dowels made myself ... i only cut down bonzai trees of the exact dimensions needed ;)

Thanks for your idea. Now I have the solution.

La copia del alfil es mucho más bonita que el original!!!❤❤❤

Awesome and inspiring

Kudos on a fantastic design. However if you don't have access to a cnc machine to make one out of aluminum, I wonder if you could use the wooden model with aluminum shaft collar inserts. Seems like it would work although you would have to figure out how to hold them in place securely. Just compression would fail over time so perhaps attaching a thin metal plate with cutouts on the back side slightly overlapping the edges of the collars would hold them in place. You could probably charge up to $110 or so depending on the final design and build quality but I think at $80-85 it would sell like hotcakes to use an antique phrase. Sign me up!

Agreed, I think CA$ 100 or EUR 100 is a fair price if the product features were properly implemented (vacuum connection). BTW, I would look at your second plate. There is still space for optimization, I think. First of all, the holes should be properly polished or reamed to remove unnecessary friction. Secondly, I would give each hole a rounded entrance, so that the pressure of a tight fit is applied gradually to the dowel as it advances into the hole. I think this could also help to remove chatter.

The blade is at a scraping position of the red and black jig. It should be positioned at a shearing position for it to work better, it would shear the fibers off instead of “chopping” off the fibers.

This is great and all, but if you are not going to show us how to build it, then this a pretty useless video. TD!

No oh only zero sorry to be picky military ruined me

I do'nt think a tapered bit will work but, I do think that a spiral bit will create a better result....

GREAT design. As peterkelly says below, there are several advantages if you offer a flat pack with plans for the box. Your time goes down, COST goes down and profit goes UP. After all, if we are purchasing this device, we should be able to make a wooden box.

Two sides to a circle. That was funny.

can you add a bit position indicator on the acrylic plates so people don't need to look through the holes to positon the router bit? I.e. a tic mark on the plate holding the trim rouiter and a scale on the bottom plate mark where each dowel size would be.

Enhorabuena, que gran proyecto.

Price of a small car in Australia

Clever concept! You have a huge potential market in the US & Canada, but I am in Australia & fighting the 2 devils of exchange rate & especially postage costs. As wood workers, we could easily knock the box together, so you could offer a flat pack consisting of the acrylic plates for the router, the rings & emailed pdf templates.

Nice work

Contact Johnathan Katz-Moses... he has all the hole configurations for all the routers. He helps sell a router jig that Tamar 3x3 customs sells. It was a joint effort. I would hope they would love to help you with that.
