Woodpeckers Cam-A-Line Dowel Guide combines variable spacing, precision-engraved centerlines, a robust fence and a versatile stop system to give you the most complete dowelling jig on the market. Unlike other dowelling jigs, you're not limited to a certain dimension between pins and you don't have to try to remember which bushings you used. Just adjust the spacing to your material and go. You have your choice of 4 different guide bushing sizes in both inch and metric. You can get Cam-A-Line with just one size, or get the Deluxe set, which includes all 4 sizes, extensions for the stop and a wall-mountable Rack-It to keep everything right in plain sight and ready to go to work.

Butt Joints, T-Joints, Miter Joints and Edge Joints on Any Stock Thickness or Size!

Cam-A-Line uses a sliding cam system to maintain even spacing between 3 drill guide bushings. You can space the bushings as close as 3/4" (20 mm) center-to-center or spread them out up to 1-3/4" (44 mm) center-to-center. This spacing range lets you have an evenly spaced three-dowel array on a workpiece from 2-1/4" wide up to 5-1/2" wide. You can go narrower than 2-1/4" by using only 2 of the guide bushings and you can go wider than 5-1/2" by using groups of pins.   

The easiest way to use Cam-A-Line utilizes the engraved centerlines. Just clamp your two boards together exactly where you want them. Strike a line across the joint. Align Cam-A-Line's engraved centerline with the marks on each piece and drill your joint. The holes will line up perfectly and create a joint that rivals loose tenon or mortise and tenon joints for strength and durability. You can use the same process for miter joints, too.

When you have stacks of similar joints to make, the stop system speeds things up, compared to using a centerline. Once your stop is set, it provides a quick physical reference to locate your work, eliminating aligning the jig to a pencil mark. You can quickly re-index the stop on the other end of the jig to drill the mirror image on your joining piece. 

Using dowels in edge-glued panels can save hours of hand planing and sanding. The dowels keep the top surface of your panel flat, even when the sections have a little bit of twist or bow. The extension rods for the stop system let you set the spacing between dowel pins wherever you want it.

Like all Woodpeckers products, the Cam-A-Line Dowel Guide is precisely machined and carefully inspected right here in our Strongsville, Ohio, facility just south of Cleveland.

Q: What is the size of the Rack-It? 
A: It is 6” wide, 2” tall, and 4” deep. 

Q: Are there other rods that are compatible with the Cam-A-Line?
A: Multi-Function Router Base rods are compatible. Auto Line Drill Guide rods are NOT compatible. The Cam-A-Line uses ⅜” diameter rods and the Auto Line Drill Guide uses 5/16” diameter rods. 

Q: How does the Cam-A-Line function with narrow stock? 
A: When using narrow stock, you must reset the stop when switching to the mating piece. This will avoid any difference in placement. 

Q: Where do I store the extension rods? 
A: Extension rods are stored on the pegs on the back face of the Rack-It.
