The Hoffmann PDS-32 is the first portable machine that is easy to use and precise enough to allow the repeat accuracy needed for professional dowel construction.

The PDS-32 was developed and is manufactured in Germany. Thousands of PDS-32 Systems have been sold in Europe and now this proven tool is available to the American woodworking industry.

All details have been developed with the professional woodworker in mind, from the powerful motor and innovative plunger stops to the cast aluminum fences with pre-set stops at the most common angles.

• The tilting fence allows the machine to be used for simple butt and end-to-end joints, as well as all miter joints
  from 0 - 90 degrees.
• The machine can be used with one or two drill bits, depending on the application. The fixed distance between the dowel centers is 32mm (1 1/4”). Dowels ranging in size from 5mm – 16mm (~ 3/16”– 5/8”) diameter can be used to match every material thickness and size.
• The tilting fence has a clear acrylic insert with two hairline pointers to accurately align the centers of the drill bits with pencil marks on the material. A third hairline indicates the center between the two bits.
• Built into the face plate are two spring loaded steel plungers for precise drilling of dowel holes at the preset distance of 16mm (~ 5/8") from the material edge.
• The distance between the face of the material and the center of the dowel holes can be easily adjusted from 7mm - 41mm (~ 9/32" - 1 5/8"), depending on material thickness. A turret stop allows the operator to set commonly used distances for fast and consistent change-overs.
• A built-in port allows the use of a dust collection hose or vacuum system for dust-free operation.
