Triton Duo Dowel
#19
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?

The CTM jig is not marketed in the USA.  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.

No video on the flat plate, but they do post an instruction manual:

Thanks.  One large template does seem faster than repositioning a smaller one.

I have not used it yet for shelf holes.  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.
