I've got 52 spindles to put between 8 stretchers (13 per pair). That's a 104 mortises.
Would love to put my Dowelmax to use for this job but the spindles are just 5/8" by 3/4".
The clamping screw on the Dowelmax doesn't even line up with the hole bushings to secure a spindle.
Any ideas?
I thought of making the dowel holes on the end of 3/4" thick wide boards and then cut the spindles after the drilling. But I'm unsure of how to get the required 5/8" widths after.
