igooo Dual-Spindle Doweling Jointer DJ710, 710W 230V 50Hz, UK/DE Plug, Wood Plate Joiner, 2X8mm and 2X6mm Drilling Bits, 80 Dowels

Checked the centre alignment and adjustable fence from the box and found them accurately pre-set. Used it to join a number of pallet timbers together to form a narrow table top. Very pleased with the result, all the dowel joints lined up perfectly. Very quick to set up and make repeated drills. It is considerably cheaper than another well know make. Seems solid and well made.

This review is based on my initial tests and not on extensive use. I must say, first impressions are good at the price point. I'd researched this tool as extensively as I could (+ the Triton & Grizzly) & accepted there may be some minor issues before hitting order. Thankfully, the biggest possible issue with this type of tool - one cutter being slightly lower than the other, doesn't appear to be a problem with mine.If you're expecting perfection, save up and buy a Festool. But for a fraction of the price, this will do a similar job, as long as you're willing to tweak it a bit & aren't expecting 1/1000th of an inch accuracy. On mine square is at 89 degrees on the fence markings. Not a big deal, as long as it holds that square. I plan to grind off the marking and add a new line at 89 degrees to show where to set it. I'll do the same for 45.There is a tiny bit of wobble when opened up to 180 degrees but that is pretty easy to eliminate with a very thin shim or by finessing the fence. Not a deal breaker for me, as I do more end grain joints.The lock-on switch is a better design than the Triton's trigger but they both have the same ridiculous handle, which is only really useful for carrying the tool around. It's right on the pivot point, so adds zero stability when plunging. You really need to secure the front of the fence. I plan to take off the jig accessory (two screws) and add some sort of removable fence extender with handle to increase stability (to help counter the weight of the motor). I just need to find a couple of thumb screws that fit the existing holes and will make the extended fence out of some 3mm aluminium plates I have.I plan to add a centre line for alignment when doing face cuts. I can cut that in with a milling machine or Dremmel. I also plan to add a flip-up tab either side of the fence, which can act as a reference stop for consistent cuts. Just a couple of metal tabs, secured by thumb screws should do it. Drill a small hole in the side of the bottom fence & use a tap to cut a thread for the thumbscrews.I'm going to see how well the alignment window markings do. It would be nice to have a marginally thinner line. It's not terrible but I'd prefer it to be hair's width for accuracy. Making a replacement out of acrylic is not too difficult.The cuts seem nice and snug, with no slop and the joints I've done so far align to an acceptable degree of accuracy for the kind of work I do. A tiny bit of sanding will have things perfectly flush but the alignment was pretty good for a budget tool!If my modifications work and the tool continues to perform as well as in my tests, I'd be tempted to give it 5 stars but I have to keep it to 4 stars with other buyers in mind, who may not be interested in tinkering. If you want laser precision, you'll have to invest in a premium brand, as there is nothing else on the market between these budget brands & the Mafell/Festools.Purchase this with your eyes open & expectations correctly set & I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. I'm certainly expecting it to become an important part of my workflow as a hobby woodworker.
