I am intending to write a SketchUp Plugin that would layout the holes for a dowel joint made with a DowelMax fixture. I need some basic dimensions to get started with concept.

1. End of block to first hole centerline
2. Edge of block to centerline of the 5 holes2
3. Distance between the holes

Thanks
Keith

You could also add the Jessem Paralign.

To the center-line of the first hole is 3/8".
The holes are spaced 3/4" apart.
Edge of block to first hole is 3/8", then 3/4" to center of the next, then 3/4" to center of the next and so on.

| 3/8" O - 3/4" O - 3/4" O - 3/4" O - 3/4" O - 3/8" |

Block is 3 3/4" wide.
