Cam Locks

[OllyK]

Is there a jig out there to allow accurate drilling for a cam lock?

I expect I could make something with some off cuts and a dowel, but just wondered what others used.

Olly,

Have a look at the Hafele range of jigs

The Hafele jig is very good but expensive about £250 with the Vat for the jig and drill bits. It depends how much you use the cam locks as to whether its worth it. Its fairly easy to knock something up out of scrap mdf to do the job with.

Hmmm £250 is a tad steep. I may look at using some Ally, seems to be pretty cheap and would a bit more resilliant than MDF.
