Tools and Hardware Reviews of Shop Fox D3171 Shelf Support Boring Jig

Customer Review: Don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars

This shelf pin jig is relatively inexpensive, however, in my experience with the tool, it was impossible to create co-planer holes in the front and back of the case. After ruining several pieces I discovered that the holes were not evenly spaced! There was a variance of at least 3/32" between three holes at one end of the tool. After drilling holes on the front edge of the case and the tool is flipped to drill corresponding holes on the back edge, the holes from front to back are way off giving you wobbly crooked shelves. Stay away.

As a general rule, it is better to use a jig that employs a guide bit or that relies on a router with a guide bushing. It will give you more accurate results (assuming the jig is milled correctly) and save wear and tear on the jig itself.
