Milescraft 1343 Shelf Jig – Drill 1/4 in and 5 mm Shelf Pin Holes with 32 mm Cabinet Spacing

Craft custom cabinet shelving with the Milescraft ShelfJig 1343

Bring professional-grade precision to your DIY cabinetry projects. The ShelfJig 1343 is designed to help you place shelf pin holes accurately, whether you’re lining up a new set of cabinets or refreshing an older installation. The see-through body lets you check alignment as you work, keeping guesswork to a minimum and helping you achieve clean, uniform holes across multiple panels.

With standard 32 mm spacing, this jig supports the familiar American cabinet layout, while a repositionable guide fence offers flexible back offsets for different box depths. When you need to reach the back of a cabinet, simply remove or relocate the fence to gain unobstructed access. The included drill bits cover the most common shelf pin sizes, and the quick-release hex-shaft makes bit changes fast and simple, so you can keep momentum on larger jobs.

Every detail is designed for repeatable results: centering notches aid quick placement, and indexing pins let you reproduce an entire hole pattern without starting from scratch. The detachable fence also doubles as convenient storage for unused parts, helping you stay organized on the job site or in the shop.

Key benefits and what you can achieve

• Included bits create both 1/4 in and 5 mm shelf pin holes for common cabinet hardware
• Clear, see-through body minimizes setup errors and provides a reliable working environment
• Standard 32 mm spacing between each hardened guide bushing for consistent results
• Detachable fence offers 37 mm or 64 mm back offsets for different cabinet depths
• Centering notches enable quick, repeatable positioning
• 1/4 in and 5 mm indexing pins allow moving the jig to create longer hole runs
• Quick-release, impact-ready hex-shaft speeds bit changes on busy projects

How it works and real-world use cases

Line up the jig with your cabinet edge using the centering notches, then drill up to seven holes at once. When you’re adding more shelves, reposition with the indexing pins and create an extended hole sequence without losing alignment. If you’re working on a tight box or need access to the back, detach the fence for easier drilling. This setup is ideal for kitchen, workshop, or living space cabinetry where precise, repeatable hole patterns save time and improve overall fit.
