        This module allows for a wide variety of joinery and boring application. First, it can be used for straight dowel joints. Second it can be used for doweled joints in combination with Confirmat® fastener joinery in one step. Third is the ability to turn on or off any of the four types of holes created in each operation. As with all modules in the suite, side and edge are location non-specific. This means that the same joinery can work on the mid horizontal and a mid vertical, as well as on a four sided box. You can also set up a preset to bore holes in the bottom of a tongue and groove joint for further fastening by screws. In addition, certain types of KD fittings can be bored for this manner. This module, as well as the tongue and groove module is also especially good with odd angles and tapered pieces, just make sure your boring machinery can handle the joints created. When using the program, please make sure to read all the prompts as they can sometimes change depending upon any previous machining that has been done on the part.
