Dowel Master
Product Code : LSK-WWPT-10721
Dowel Master (SKU LSK-WWPT-10721) is a universal dowelling jig that guides the drill so matching dowel holes line up in two pieces of board. It handles corner, T-butt and edge-to-edge joints and is used by carpentry and furniture-making trainees in ITI, polytechnic and TVET workshops. Science Lab Supplies supplies this jig from Ambala, India to training institutes, schools with vocational streams, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The Dowel Master is a quick-set jig for boards from 12 to 30 mm thick. It drills guide holes for 6, 8 and 10 mm dowel pins, so one tool covers the common dowel sizes used in cabinet, shelf and frame joinery, whether the joint is a corner, a T-butt or an edge-to-edge panel.

Applications and Experiments for the Dowel Master
The dowelling jig lets trainees make strong, hidden joints without cutting mortises or tenons, which makes it a practical first joinery tool. It fits the carpentry and furniture trades at ITIs, TVET joinery modules and polytechnic workshop practice, where boards are joined into carcasses, frames and wider panels.
- Corner joints for boxes, drawers and cabinet carcasses.
- T-butt joints for shelves and partitions set into a side panel.
- Edge-to-edge joints for gluing narrow boards into a wide panel or table top.
- Teaching marking out, hole alignment and choice of dowel size for board thickness.
A common rule taught with the jig is to choose a dowel about one third to one half of the board thickness, which is why the 6, 8 and 10 mm guides cover the 12 to 30 mm range.
Standard Scope of Supply
