    Default fitting dowels on slight angle

    making a holder for my spring clamps. I need/want 6 dowels fitted to a pice of 18mm MDF and need the dowels slightly off horizontal so the clamps wont slip off. To be pedantic how do I get all dowel pices the same angle?

    A piece of scrap planed/sawn to the angle required, clamp to drill table and rest the piece to be drilled on it, drill first hole rinse and repeat

    If you have a drill press, you might be able to tilt the table to your required angle. Then all your holes will be the same.

    Another method is drill a hole through a block, then cut the desired angle at one end and use as a drill guide.
