This hole worked great for a 7x50 confirmat screw. This really was not a bad system and could get some cases knocked together in short order. When doing a partition we would use a straight edge and butt the jig against it. The jig has a shoulder on it that is centered at 3/8". Staple your box together and then use the jig. They sell a bit that is long and tapered. Hafele sells a jig that you mount in a standard electric drill. You can get a used single head boring machine for less than $1,000. Without the machinery, I think it would actually be slower than the staple/screw method, or biscuits where hidden joints are needed. Are that many really required to build a box? Also, for the small shop, what kinds/brands/features should one look for in a starter (but professional) line boring machine?Īs I understand it, the whole point of using dowels or confirmats is because you have the machinery for it. Also on the subject, what is the industry standard spacing between dowels/confirmats? I think I read 47mm on centers somewhere. I'd love a line boring machine but it's just not in the budget right now, and I’m just starting out. I’m wondering what kinds of jigs are available for the small shop for line boring for dowels or confirmats.
