Shelf pin jigs.

[Pete Harbin]

Cordless drill, depth collar and some 1/4" pegboard (with a little fence tacked on) here. Worked like a charm.

Michael,

To answer your question, yes, I have the Veritas shelf pin jig. I use both corded and cordless drills with it. I don't seem to have any problem with tearout, at least with the woods i typically work with. I am happy with the quality of the tool and it's ease of use.
Cheers

I made mine with 3/8" x 4" aluminum bar stock. I used an indexing pin on my drill press, drilling 3/8" holes on 1" centers, then I used a countersink to slighly ease the edge of the hole.

I drilled and tapped holes along the edge for long allen screws and used allen nuts for the actual guide pins.

I use a small plunge router (Makita 3621) with a 3/8" template guide bushing and 1/4" bit.

You could make it with any spacing you like. The last hole on each end is 1/4' inch so I can hang it on a pin and continue the line of holes for length I need.
