Grizzly just brought out a double dowel cutter. May look at it. It may have improved on the triton

Seems to be a copy with a different trigger - which isn’t an improvement.
Still no 5mm bits.

I don't anticipate building anymore cabinets but if I did I'd buy the CTM jig. It would be much faster than a Domino or the double dowel type machine.

I'm curious about this "CTM jig". Could this be a CMT jig of some sort, perhaps the CMT-enlock1? Or something else?

I was able to buy it from Amazon Germany (Amazon.de) using my regular Amazon account. IGM is a huge European distributor of woodworking tools and equipment. They are large enough that CTM will re-brand some of their products under the IGM name. The reason I mention that is because IGM produces better instructions and videos on this equipment. Here is one of their videos showing the angle clamp for sheet goods. https://www.igmtools.com/igm-fkp900-bori...els/?tab=6 No video on the flat plate, but they do post an instruction manual: https://www.igmtools.com/documents/fkp90...20a5br.pdf ![[Image: FKP656-set_01_web.jpg]](https://www.igmtools.com/userdata/cache/images/storecards/FKP656-set/500/FKP656-set_01_web.jpg) ![[Image: eyJidWNrZXQiOiJ3ZWItbmluamEtaW1hZ2VzIiwi...E0NTMzYyJ9]](https://d1mv2b9v99cq0i.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJ3ZWItbmluamEtaW1hZ2VzIiwia2V5IjoiY2FyYmF0ZWNcL2ltYWdlc1wvcHJvZGltZ1wvMzQ2MTJfMS5qcGciLCJlZGl0cyI6eyJyZXNpemUiOnsid2lkdGgiOjQ4MCwiaGVpZ2h0Ijo0ODAsImZpdCI6Imluc2lkZSIsIndpdGhvdXRFbmxhcmdlbWVudCI6dHJ1ZX19LCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjoiZThlYzMyNTBiYzQ4YmNhMjE5YmI0MGQyODlhMTY4MThlMzE0NTMzYyJ9)

I got it so I can dowel in the middle of a panel. My last cabinet was drilled using a Kreg jig. I agree that the Kreg jig is too short and I joined two to make a longer version. The "cabinet grade" plywood from Lowes has such a thin veneer that drilling often leaves a ragged hole. With the CMT jig I can try using a plunge router for the next cabinet. You need a 14mm bushing and a 5mm router bit to do that. The 14mm bushing was hard to find.

Ragged holes --- Apply masking tape before drilling.
