Precision Shelf Pin Drilling Jig (5mm)
This is a robust drilling template designed for installing shelf pins in cabinets and furniture. Unlike standard printed templates that wear out quickly, this jig is designed to hold metal sleeves, allowing you to drill directly through the guide for perfect accuracy every time.
Key Features:
- No Marking Needed: Drill directly through the template without pre-marking points.
- System 32 Compatible: Standard 32mm distance between holes, making it compatible with most modern furniture systems (including IKEA).
- Durable Design: Uses replaceable metal bushings to prevent the drill bit from damaging the plastic.
- Locking Mechanism: Equipped with a notch to lock the template in place for stability and to assist in replacing worn bushings.
- Wide Coverage: Maximum hole spacing of 192 mm.
