Could you use it as a doweling jig or even if possible would that be silly?

While it possibly could be used as a doweling jig, it would be difficult and I wouldn't make the effort. There are numerous doweling jigs on the market at reasonable prices that would be a much better approach. I'm afraid all that would be accomplished using this jig would be extreme frustration. It does do a great job at its intended purpose though.

If you could clamp it where you needed it I suppose you could use it to guide your drill for dowells .

No. You should purchase a regular doweling jig from Amazon, Harbor Freight, etc.

You could, but it's not what the tool is for and I would highly recommend using it strictly for the purpose it is intended for or you may have a short life span on the tool

I wouldn't because it's not really made for that. Chopping logs I would say no but maybe small sticks. It's small not like an ax.

This could be used for that purpose, but turning a bunch of hardware with the various wrenches on this tool might be a pain in the ass. It is a very bulky thing to have to twirl over and over.

Not really. This is for finesse work where you need to do something delicate - undercut a door jamb, for instance. For lumber, either a circular saw or a chop saw, depending upon you exact application.

I don't think I would. I think it's too coarse for such use. However, you might do best to check with others.

You might be able to rig up a way, but it doesn't seem like it would be a great idea. It would dangle off your foot . . . not to workable.

It would be difficult and a lot less accurate than a Dowling jig. I wouldn't use it in that manner.

I would say definitely yes! This saw makes very fine cuts and is versatile. I love it. I recently cut and installed dowle. It did a great job ...nice and smooth.

No. The mass is to off center. You could do it but I would NOT. A large hole saw would be a much better and safer way to go

You could, however you might need shorter screws...think the Ines with it were an inch or inch and 1/4.

Hi there yes you can use it for that but you might need to cut it in to smaller pieces .

I'm sure you could, I would not recommend it due to the weight and size of the piece

With some wiggling you might be able to do it, technically... But the vertical clearance wouldn't make this possible / realistic for most use cases.

It could, I never thought of using it for that purpose. It is a lovely piece.

I don't see why not, you would just be using the frame as a level platform.

No, you need a jigsaw for something like that. This one is like a cheap small version of a sawzall and it vibrates, a lot.
