## Description

Create sturdy, true cabinet shelfing with the Milescraft® CabinetMate. This light-weight, easy to use jig allows you to drill up to eleven holes evenly spaced 32mm a part in one setting. Whether creating cabinets from scratch or updating existing cabinets, this jig helps you get the job done fast and accurately. The jig is designed for use with both face-frame and frameless cabinets. The CabinetMate shelf pin jig has a rigid main body, indexing pins, and a self-centering, spring-loaded drill bit. The custom spring-loaded-brad point drill bit allows the holes you drill to self-center with the holes on the main body. This bit is pre-set to bore a crisp hole with consistent depth for a perfect fitting shelf pin. The CabinetMate also comes with a built-in closed storage compartment for your bit and indexing pins. The CabinetMate allows you to accurately drill eleven holes, evenly spaced at 32mm apart, in just one setting. This innovative tool can be used on cabinet sides before assembly, already assembled cabinets and face-frame or frameless cabinets. A stand-out feature of the CabinetMate is that it also allows you to mark the locations for Euro-style hinges. This tool comes with the 1/4″ self-centering drill bit. If you are looking for a very affordable, high quality and extremely versatile cabinet jig, the new Milescraft CabinetMate is the only one you will need to look at.

Review: Works perfectly, breaks easily - 6/3/2024 The jig and the self-centering spring loaded bit worked perfectly. But, after tapping nine holes for shelf pegs, the self-centering spring loaded bit broke internally so that the bit would not eject to tap a hole. I finished the job with a regular drill bit. I have contacted the manufacturer Milescraft for a replacement bit. I will update this post re Milescraft's response. 6/11/2024 - Update: Today, I received a replacement bit from Milescraft at no cost for the bit or shipping.
Review: Awesome product - My wife got me this to retrofit a old tv entertainment center to a China cabinet as you can see from the pictures it works very well. The only thing I didn't like was that you only get one of each size pegs to keep it straight, laying it flat down isn't a issue but going vertical is, definitely could use 2 pegs to help keep it level. Otherwise is awesome too use and simple.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I make my cabinets with 1/2” plywood what are the chances I drill Through**
A: The preset drilling depth of the bit is 1/2" and would drill through if not stopped before fully plunged.

**Q: What’s the diameter of the hole drilled?**
A: The CabinMate comes with 2 drill bit’s, one is 1/4 of a inch, and the other should be 3/8 of an inch, to accommodate the shelf pin diameter to be used. The bit’s can be changed out with the use of a small Allen wrench that comes with the kit. Please read the directions for changing the bit’s very carefully, and follow them so that you maintain the preset depth from the manufacturer. This may be a little more information then your original question asked for, but I felt it was important to share it with you.
Good luck with your project.

**Q: Is the stop (length) in the drill bit adjustable? Or does it only sit at 1/2"??**
A: The drilling depth of the Shelf Pin Bit included with the set is not adjustable.

**Q: will this work with a 5mm shelfpinbit?**
A: Yes, the Milescraft 1316 CabinetMate will work with a 5mm shelf pin bit. This kit only includes a 1/4" shelf pin bit, you will want to purchase a 5mm bit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’d buy it again!
*by J***T on July 17, 2025*

Worked well to add shelving into our kitchen cabinets. The drill bit did seem to break somehow. It doesn’t spring outward anymore after a few holes drilled but it’s still usable and does the job!
