Despite the description none of the inserts fitted a 10mm drill. **Q: Can someone confirm if the drill sizes are imperial or metric? It says 6, 8, 10, 11 and 12mm, but some reviews the sizes actually are imperial.** A: It was imperial. The inserts aern't labeled but none fit a 10mm drill. **Q: What is the minimum panel thickness it clamps to.** A: The minimum thickness the clamp closes to is approx. 10mm , but the actual block that holds the drill dies is approx. 16mm, so you would need to bear in mind what size dowels to use and how much is left wood around the dowel , I hope this helps **Q: What size are the drill holes and what is the minimum panel thickness it clamps to** A: Unknown since they wern't marked but they weren't metric as none to fit 10mm drill. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Does what it says on the tin. *by 9***C on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 November 2020* A bit fiddly but once you get used to it, it works fine ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Generally useful tool. *by G***. on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 July 2019* Slightly clumsy to use. I had to use pliers to get the guide collars to screw in. That said, it did the job well and will probably get easier to use with use. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Well made and perfect out the box - no regrets *by T***C on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 February 2021* So I bought this for creating some (solid) hardwood floating shelves. My preferred brackets are all based on imperial sizes (7/16 holes) - so 11mm drill bits.Some users have rated this 1 star based on the fact it is imperial measurements - even though that is clear from the images - and the metric equivalent drill bits will only be 0.1mm out so it doesn't both me in the slightest - still far more accurate than building my own jig.There are centring lines and holes on the side of the jig that make it very easy to align.I note some users have mentioned having to rebuild the jig as it wasn't centred out of the box - again not an issue for me, perfectly centred and ready to use out of the box. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/63873756-katsu-tools-self-centering-doweling-jig-kit-woodworking-drill-guide](https://www.desertcart.us/products/63873756-katsu-tools-self-centering-doweling-jig-kit-woodworking-drill-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
