Used in joinery of solid wood or particle boards.

SIZE: 8x40mm
PACKAGING: Pack of 40 dowel pins

Application:

The dowel is made from solid wood. Dowel rods are often cut into shorter
lengths, called dowel pins.

Dowels can 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 has
a series of parallel grooves cut along its length.

Why
are the dowels fluted?

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

Benefits:

• Using more than one dowel per joint, will strengthen the joinery and allignment.
• Using a jig will make joinery with dowels a lot easier and speeds up the
  process. Have a look at the
  
  DOW20000 jig or the
  
  TCDW001 jig.

TIP:
To stregthen joinery with dowels, ensure that the drilled holes allign properly.

Everything
you need for dowel joints in this one convenient kit.

Includes:

• (x27) Fluted dowel pins 6x30mm
• (x4) Dowel centers
• (x1) 6mm brad point drill bit
• (x1) 6mm drill stop collar
• (x1) hex key wrench

Application:

The doweling accessory set includes everything needed to conveniently join
with dowels.

1. The process starts with having the collar fastened onto the drill bit to
   the correct depth position. In this case it would be 15mm.
2. Up to 4 holes per side can be drilled with the 10mm brad point drill to
   the correct positions.
3. The dowel centers are then inserted into the already drilled holes. It
   is 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 the
   center 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 be
   inserted. Make use of clamps to keep the join secured until the glue has
   set.

Dowels can also be used for:

• Furniture shelf supports.
• Supports for hanging items such as clothing, key rings, tools etc.
• Joinery.
