Review: outstanding! - I did my research and looked at a lot of YouTube videos, and Dowelmax seem to be the best value and one of the most versatile jigs out there. While things like the joint Genie look like they would work very well too, each different size is $120. The Jessem also looked interesting, but a number of people commented it was hard to align, and the clamping bracket interferes with your view with certain configurations of the jig. The dowelmax shipped very quickly, and arrived pretty quickly as well from Canada. I had ordered both this jig and the quarter inch insert, and neglected to order quarter inch dowels. The company must have saw this, and included free of charge a bag of quarter inch dowels! Nice! Thanks Dowelmax! The jig also comes with some 3/8" dowels to get you started. The dowels themselves are very nicely made btw. I had watched enough YouTube videos to know about checkmark to check mark, in was ingrained in my memory. I did a couple of practice joints, and wow, totally impressed. A perfectly fitting, flush surface joint, just like they advertise. The drill bit is very nicely made as well; in fact, everything about this kit is very nicely machined. The clamp is pretty cheap, but I plan on picking up one of the cam action clamps at the big box stores. Way faster and less chance for things to slide or move around. Overall a very nicely made, well designed piece of equipment. The box holds the jig well enough, but would be nice to see a case become available for such a nice tool. Review: Overall comments - The jig worked out great. Very accurate. Caution: The clamp needs to be very tight otherwise there is a tendency to lift the jig also the collar on the bit needs to be tight or it may come loose on the drilling. With these points in mind the jig did better than expected. ## Features - Precision CNC machined aluminum, brass and steel components accurate to +/- .001 inches. - Fully upgradeable to Dowelmax Classic specifications. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BGS8YNU | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (18) | | Date First Available | February 16, 2013 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 2.2 pounds | | Item model number | DMX-Jr | | Manufacturer | Dowelmax | | Material | Aluminum | | Part Number | DMX-Jr | | Product Dimensions | 12 x 6 x 6 inches | ## Images ![Dowelmax Junior 3/8 System 2018 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51nh4XE52OL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ outstanding! *by T***. on June 16, 2016* I did my research and looked at a lot of YouTube videos, and Dowelmax seem to be the best value and one of the most versatile jigs out there.

Very accurate. Caution: The clamp needs to be very tight otherwise there is a tendency to lift the jig also the collar on the bit needs to be tight or it may come loose on the drilling. With these points in mind the jig did better than expected. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Good product with one major flaw *by M***D on July 5, 2015* One serious flaw keeps this from being a 5 star tool. The product is solid and makes perfect holes for a 3/8" dowel. My major complaint is that the reference block and reference bracket are not flush. Depending of the placement of the holes and the angle from which you are working, you could align the jig with either the bracket or the block. when making a 90 degree connection, you tend to use the block for reference on one board, and the bracket for reference on the other. If you do this, they will not line up. I realize there is a checkmark on the block that (in theory) tells you to use it for reference, but if you like to use homemade "jig boards" with this jig for quick spacing it can be a pain to always butt them against only the block. Even if you use pencil lines for alignment you will find yourself using the reference bracket by mistake. I can think of no earthly reason why the block and bracket are not flush. You should be able to align the jig from both angles. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/7947047-dowelmax-junior-3-8-system-2018](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/7947047-dowelmax-junior-3-8-system-2018) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
