Dowel Joints
Dowel joints are another type of modified butt joint. This is a popular joint with frame makers using automatic equipment.
Some may challenge
this but I'm willing to say that it's not the favorite joint of most woodworkers when doing framework.
Even with jigs to position the holes it's hard to get the joints just right. I usually wind up drilling one or both holes oversize just
to get the alignment right.
In other applications, where a single dowel pin can be used in a joint, these joints becomes a better joint to work with and sometimes
even the best. Post and cap applications or post sections that need to be held in alignment are just two examples.

Rockler 3/8" Doweling Jig |
| This is an incredibly affordable doweling jig for woodworkers who want
quick dowel joints without a lot of fussy layout. Many doweling jigs require that you make a mark on the inside edge of the joint, meaning you either have
to transfer marks from the face to the edge, or measure and mark with a tape measure. Since this jig is transparent, layout is much simpler. Just
set the two parts together and strike a line across the center of the joint. The see-through reference lines allows you to line up the jig perfectly.
Clamp it in place, drill and you’re done!
