the miles craft joint mate can be used to drill matching holes on mating components for projects
in several configurations quickly and easily the joint mate is designed to drill holes for dowel
pins sized 3 8 inch quarter inch or 5 16 of an inch in diameter to determine which size dowel pin
you should use for your project choose the dowel pin size based on the thickness of your boards
for boards half an inch to 5 8 of an inch use quarter inch dowels boards 5 8 of an
inch to 3 4 inch use 5 16 inch dowels and boards three quarters of an inch to one and one half
inch use 3 8 inch dowels to get started using the joint mate select the drill bit that corresponds
to the selected dowel pin size slide a miles craft or similar drill stop over the drill bit
insert the drill bit through the correct drill guide bushing until it protrudes past the surface
of the joint mate the depth of the hole will vary by the configuration of the mating pieces
but regardless of the final depth it's recommended the holes be drilled 1 8 inch
deeper than the length of the dowel's insertion depth to provide room for the glue once you've
determined the appropriate depth for the hole and added the recommended extra 1 8 of an inch rotate
the drill stop until the set screw is over the outside diameter of the drill bit and then tighten
the set screw now let's demonstrate the joint mate in use with these common dowel pin joints
here are a couple of quick tips for easy accurate cutting with your square cut first make sure that
you install the rubber feet that come with the square cut they help it grip the board as you work
next set up the guide arm by making a test cut in a piece of scrap stock
make sure that the saw's blade won't hit the guide arm on this first cut then hold
the square cut against your board and cut by guiding the saw along the edge of the square cut
now without moving the square cut loosen the bolt
that holds the guide arm and slide it over until it's flush with the end you just cut
then just tighten the bolt back down with the guide arm positioned every cut with
the square cuts easy just align the guide arm with your cut line
hold the square cut in place and make your cut

a head piece for each new measurement simply move your pencil to another hole it's like a
combination square that's always set to every measurement and far more accurate
