Application:

The doweling accessory set includes everything needed to conveniently joinwith dowels.

  1. The process starts with having the collar fastened onto the drill bit tothe correct depth position. In this case it would be 20mm.
  2. Up to 4 holes per side can be drilled with the 10mm brad point drill tothe correct positions.
  3. The dowel centers are then inserted into the already drilled holes. Itis used to transfer the center points to the other piece of wood.
  4. A rubber mallet or suitable hammer can then be used to transfer thecenter marks.
  5. Repeat step 2 to have the correct depth drilled holes on the other side.
  6. Clean out the drilled holes of excess dust and debris.
  7. Glue can be then be applied to the holes and the dowels can beinserted. Make use of clamps to keep the join secured until the glue hasset.

Dowels can also be used for:

  • Furniture shelf supports.
  • Supports for hanging items such as clothing, key rings, tools etc.
  • Joinery.
Dowel-based joinery typically employs fluted dowel pins. A fluted dowel pin hasa series of parallel grooves cut along its length.


Whyare the dowels fluted?

Thefluting provides channels through which excess glue (which is used to secure thedowel pin in its hole) can escape as the dowel is inserted, thereby relieving thehydraulic pressure that might otherwise split the timber when clamped together.
