As I said before, alignment is key. the TDJ600 comes with a 3 line viewer that allows you to align the dowels correctly. For example, you can mark the center on both pieces to be joined, and align that to the central line.
The TDJ600 is a pretty compact tool, and it only weighs around 6 lbs. That makes it easy to handle, even for extended usage; In addition, the technique of using dowels in pairs already achieves outstanding stability at the dry assembly stage. As mentioned before, the tool has a handle on top of it that allows you better control. To be honest, most of the time you’ll want to place your hand on the fence for additional stability. The handle comes in handy (you’ll pardon the pun) when using the tool vertically. The holes are 32mm apart, the industry standard, and the construction of the TDJ600 is such that they’ll be exactly square. 8mm dowel cutters are supplied with the machine, with the ability to swap these out for 10mm or 12mm cutters, should they be needed.

When cutting slots for dowels, precision is key for getting a reliable joint. With biscuits, for example, there’s some room for error. In this case, you need the holes to be perfectly perpendicular to the joining surface. On top of that, the slots on both pieces must be perfectly aligned. Here are some features of the Triton that guarantee a high level of accuracy:
Obviously, you want to be fully in control, and the tool offers great balance and ergonomics to provide that control. The front bale handle is big and grippy, and the body is compact enough to wrap your hand around. The anti-slip pins (or jig teeth) on the front plate can be adjusted to that you’re guaranteed that the tool won’t slip or move while you make the cuts. Two spring-loaded pins in the baseplate enable the user to drill holes at a fixed distance of 15,5 mm (5/8 in.) from the edge of the work; repetitive drilling without any measuring or marking is simple. Dowel joints have long been recognised as a strong and accurate way of constructing cabinets. The Mafell Duo-Dowel DDF 40 offers a high level of accuracy and efficiency in a dedicated, easy to use power tool. To guarantee stable positioning, the base of the tool is equipped with rubber bumpers that prevent the tool from sliding. The bumpers are spring-loaded so that they don’t compromise the precision of the cuts. The base is perfectly square when the fence is at 90 degrees. Thanks to that, the tool delivers perpendicular cuts every time;Compared to other jointing machines the DDF 40 makes great economic sense, as long term there are significant savings by using standard wooden dowels compared to other more expensive alternatives. The rotary knob and scale allow the tilting fence to be accurately repositioned up to a height of 62 mm (2 7/16 in.) . Regularly occurring dimensions can be preset by way of the turret.
