Customer Reviews

Master craftsman Dale Nish taught me how to make an amazing wood hinge for boxes. A wooden dowel is cut into segments, a shallow hole is drilled in the center of each dowel and a small pin is inserted into the hole for the dowel segments to pivot on. I've made thousands of boxes using this style of hinge and I have designed four jigs to precisely drill the hole in the center of dowel segments (the most difficult task).

Product Details

Four individual wood-hinge drill jig sizes available: 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" & 3/4"

Each individual wood-hinge drill jig includes one dowel jig, drill bit holder, drill bit, and Allen wrench.
1/4" & 3/8" drill jigs come with a 1/16" drill bit.
1/2" & 3/4" drill jigs come with a 1/8" drill bit.

Opposing set screws hold the drill bit securely in the holder and allows for adjustment of the hole depth.
Port holes in drill bit holder expel the sawdust to prevent clogging.

Great tool.

Excellent addition to my toolbox. Works great. Only problem with it is it makes me want to buy it in all the different sizes. Great product. Exceptional craftsmanship as I have become accustomed to buying Rob's products.

Amazing tools

Purchased the 3/8"Wood-Hinge Drill Jig with a 3/8"Box core bit.
Watched Rob on a video about six times. Then after taking some pictures of the video and practicing countless numbers of times I had success on the scrap pieces of wood.
Finaly after all that I made my real cuts on the Jewelry box. Wow success and the pieces of the puzzle actually fit.
Thank you Rob for the product and Ken for talking me through the process. Pictures to follow soon.

Does everything it said it would do, seems like good quality.

Not as easy to use as you’d expect

I purchased this with a plan to make marker storage boxes. I wanted to do three levels of craftsmanship the best being one with the invisible hinges. What I have experienced is how difficult it is to use this tool without marking up the dowels. If you make a Dowell out of the same wood so that you can have the same grain pattern what has ended up happening with me, is as I pushed this tool onto the Dowell. It leaves marks in the side of the doll that I can’t completely sand out without making the towel a different size than the one prior to it, making it extremely frustrating to complete my task. Right now I’m back to searching for another way to get a hole exactly in the center of a doll. I did experiment with creating different size dowels. I spent hours trying to make this work. I watched as many videos as I could find on YouTube to see if other people were having the same problem. It looks like I’m the only one. It seems like a great idea. I even put it on a drill. Press to make sure it wasn’t me just drilling at it bad angle with the same result, on the plus side the first one they sent me the drillbit was off and I could not drill a hole in the center to save my life with it. The second they sent me. I’m getting the hole in the center, but it marks up the outside of the dowel to where I cannot sand it out. Not sure what else to say about it. I’m not able to use it for my intended use that’s for sure. A waste of $80

Perfect tool for a unique job

I've tried and failed to drill small holes in the center of dowels. It's so frustrating. Rob Cosman's tool makes flawless centered holes. I couldn't be happier.
