Every review, across every ToolCurve product — straight from the woodworkers who use them.
I was glad to find this for a reasonable price. I have the rail with holes, but the Festool version is too expensive so I made my own. It does the job of drilling shelf pin holes but is pretty clunky and I don\’t enjoy setting it up and using it. I appreciate the much smaller footprint of this jig, easier to store and set up.
I agree with the previous review. When moving this along the rail, you should hold it in the area of the pin/knob. If you try to move the router, it will deflect. At least that was true with my homemade version.
I got it for a DW618, but that router is currently not accessible, so I put the Makita trim plunge router in it\’s place for the photo. I plan to get a base for the Makita to swap out with the Dewalt, since I believe you can use it with more than one base. I\’ll try the larger router for dog holes and the trim router for shelf pins.
I\’d give it 5 stars but it seems a bit thinner than I\’d like, perhaps it could be beefed up a bit.
Update: Apparently there is not a base for my Makita trim router. I’d suggest you consider making them for some trim routers with plunge bases. Also, it would be nifty to make the Domirail compatible with it, that would speed things up with spacing without the fiddly attachments that Festool makes for that.
Guard fits well. Kinda feels like it’s brittle and would break though if I dropped it. We will see how it holds up. It definitely improves the pre non existent dust collection.
Each piece is about
(19.9 mm) (.7435 in) (3/4 in) wide
(9.6 mm) (.38 in) (3/8 in) high
(224 mm) (8.82 in) (18 13/32 in) long
Countersunk Holes are about 20 mm, 112 mm, 204 mm from the end
Port fit the saw and the Festool hose as advertised. Installation was easy, pop off the side plate, remove the factory port, seat the new port, put the side plate back on. The only improvement I could see would be for the port to rotate like the factory port does.
I have not tried this yet but I like the fact that it will work for both the regular base and the plunge base
