Product Description
UJK Parf Guide System MK II
Create your own custom 20mm worktops in record time
Good news: the UJK Parf Dust Port is now included as standard with each UJK Parf Guide System Mark II. There is no need to order it separately.
Designed by renowned woodworker and inventor Peter Parfitt, we're pleased to provide UJK Technology's Parf Guide System MK II (PGS). A highly accurate means of laying out a pattern of 20mm holes in a work surface, the PGS MKII makes the task both quick and easy. Thanks to the high precision CNC machining used to perfectly position the registration holes along the two Parf sticks and some classical geometry (the Pythagorean theorem), the PGS MKII produces highly accurate hole positions—near CNC accuracy. With an accurate pattern of 20mm holes and a set of our DoubleGroove™ Dogs, you will be able to make the perfect right angle or 45° cuts with your guide rail and track saw.
The design of the MKII Parf Guide system for sale preserves and guarantees the long-term accuracy of the jig as well as improving the ease of use.
The MKII Parf Guide System uses 2 x MKII Parf sticks along with a drill guide and a special 3mm drill bit to create rows and columns of holes at perfect right angles.
The accuracy of the Parf guide drilling system is dependent on the very tight tolerance of the holes in the Parf stick. The MKII drill guides locate positively into holes in the MKII Parf Stick. The guides feature an oilite bush to guide the MKII 3mm drill bit. This design prevents any possibility of wear or elongation of these vital holes as a result of repeated use. Additional holes in the MKII sticks offer the possibility of drilling intermediate holes at 32mm or 48mm centres or holes at predetermined angles other than 90°. The Parf sticks have a metric scale along one edge so that they may have other uses in the workshop.
How It Works
Based on Pythagorean theorem, the PGS MKII uses two Parf sticks along with a 3mm drill guide and 3mm drill bit to create an accurately placed series of holes with the rows at perfect right angles to the columns. Then the guide block and the special 20mm bit come into play to produce the final pattern of 20mm holes.
The UJK Parf Guide System Mark II comprises two Parf Sticks, 1m long with a series of 3mm holes along the length at 96mm centers; a 3mm drill guide with 3mm drill bit and three 3mm guide pins. Plus, a guide block and a special 20mm TC drill bit with a 3mm center guide.

Accurate and easy to use
Yes it's a lot of work to manually drill a bunch of holes but, the accuracy and long term use I'll get out of this is amazing. I tried it a few ways and it was dead on from every side I approached to drill. As a bonus I use the parf sticks sometimes for making matching distanced holes on jigs. The holes were perfectly square to one another and now I've made all manner of rip jigs and cross cut jigs that mean fast, accurate cuts with my track saw. I will use this for a long time to make 20 mm hole 96 mm apart jigs that all work perfectly together.

Well worth the money
I was hesitant to purchase an expensive jig when DIY options are well documented. But I knew I'd never reach this accuracy and I was right. This is a joy to use and I know it will make my table and projects better.

Extremely well built. Simple and accurate!

Parf guide perfection
The parf guide is absolutely fantastic! You can achieve accuracy well beyond that which can reasonably be expected from this medium (wood). As to the cost, I liken it to premium price i expect for the quality I deliver, and this guide helps tremendously with that.

UJF PARF GUIDE SYSTEM MARK II
Simply the best guide for cutting dog holes in MFT style bench tops. I've used others but this has more flexibility than the ones I've used in the past. No room for error unless you don't follow instructions. I'm glad I waited for the Mark II because the dust collection feature is a God send.

Great product... with one minor exception
The rules, bushings, pins, and bits are truly top notch. The plastic dust port - not so much. The dust port latching "arms" are way too tight and cannot be fit over the guide block without breaking one of the arms.
-
UJK Parf Guide System
Elegantly simple. Well executed.
