It's $239 on Amazon, U.S. $$$.
Not even $100 for a doweling jig, no thanks. I'm not bashing those who have one, it's just not for me.Comment

I finally got to using the jig today. It works sweet and it's made very high quality. I haven't made a single joint that wasn't completely flush when running my finger over it and I'm just a novice woodworker.
To answer somebody's question, there is no measuring with the Dowelmax unless you are doing T-joints. You just line up the face you need to and drill away. When you line up the face of the jig to the face of the wood you use your fingers. Your fingers are sensitive enough to feel the thickness of a human hair which is anywhere from .002-.007. That's pretty accurate for wood.
Expensive? Yes, but for me I'm happy with the purchase. It's something I can see myself using for a long time. The only complaint is that it should have come with a very nice storage case for the premium you are shelling out.
Personally I think if they got this into Rockler and Woodcraft for 150 they'd sell a zillion of them.
