SURFACE DOWLING:

NOTE: Surface doweling is the same as right

angle (corner) doweling, except you
are not on the edge.

SETTING THE COLLAR AND DRILL
DEPTH FOR SURFACE DOWELING

The collar settings and the drill depths will be
the same as for right angle doweling.

PREPARING YOUR WORK PIECE

1. In the case of bookcases or cabinets, prepare the end of the shelf or partition as in

EDGE DOWELING, on page 5 or Fig. I below. Attach jig as in edge drilling (steps 3 & 4
on page 6) and drill holes (Fig. J below).

2. On your vertical riser, mark a horizontal line across the full surface where the dowels

will be located (Fig. K). If not already marked, you can transfer the center locations
from the prepared edge to that horizontal line (Fig. L). Extend your marks at least
31/2" down the face to make it visible for alignment to the bottom “V” pointer when
the jig is positioned.
