    Default Silex dowelling jig

    Hi all,

    I've just picked up a boxed No 30 Silex dowelling jig, and I'm hoping someone may be able to help me with a scan of the original instructions
    I'll be able to use it without, but it'd be great to have them as a reference.

    Cheers,
    Stu

    Stu, if you have a fax number I can send you the single page.

    I have my grandfather's No. 30 still in it's original box and with the original folded sheet of instructions.

    Scanning and sending isn't an option, I'm an analogue fella.

    Mick.

    Yes, not a problem, just send me the complete facsimile number, including your country code.

    Is your facsimile a stand alone one, or do you use it for a normal telephone as well. This can cause problems as my sister in-law in Germany has a phone/fax unit and with the international calling regime, it does fail about 30% of the time.

    Mick.

    I was going to say I could supply a copy but the termites took a liking to the box and the instructions

    ISTR it is a stop to screw onto your drill or bit to set the hole depth.

    Yup, it's a depth stop for the drill bit...

    Just watch out for that spinning sharp thumbscrew when you're using it...DAMHIK

    Another reason to use a brace and bits for dowelling rather than an electric drill!
