I recently used this shelf pin jig to put adjustable shelves into a cupboard I built for a customer out of birch plywood. It works very well, with the following, very small complaint: When used on plywood carcasses, mask the surface you are drilling into. The spring is very aggressive, and if you pull the bit back a little too quick from the jig, it is very prone to slightly chip out the edge of the hole with the bit. Masking the surface should fix this problem. I had to go through and redrill once or twice because wood material kept getting hung in the grooves of the bit, but for the price, it is a solid performer. It's no match for a pin jig using a plunge router and straight upcut bit, but for being so portable, it is wonderful. All that said, I recommend it.

Had seen the product used on New Yankee Workshop and thought it would be a good jig to have. Have used peg boards in the past to do the shelf holes. It works, but left something to be desired. The day my jig arrived, I was building some upper kitchen cabinets and had just finished a small pantry cabinet. All these cabinets needed the adjustable shelving. In the past this process for me would have taken about 2 hours to have done, with all the measuring pencil marking and double checking. Then making sure the tape was at the right depth on the drill bit, and rechecking every few holes. With the Rockler Shelf Jig all I needed to do was to find my center points on the front and back of the sides and line up the marks on the jig itself. Next I had to decide which row (A or B) of holes to use. The jig works great with either framed or frame-less cabinets. The jig was very easy to assemble with the 3 screws supplied. The self-center drill bit made short work of getting the holes centered and aligned. Once the cabinets were hung and the shelves placed, a level was placed on the shelf and it was level. This has been the best jig I have obtained lately. I will be using it to finish my kitchen redo and then the new workshop/garage cabinets.

I am very pleased with this product. I dont know how i would have finished my bookcase without this product. All the holes were even and the tool was very easy to maneuver.
