FULL DESCRIPTION

This easy to use jig produces clean sided, perfectly sized dowels using any existing wood in your workshop, whether common or exotic and not readily available in dowel form. Create custom dowels of any length to perfectly match a project, or from a specific species of timber.

A wide range of 8 metric dowel sizes are provided: 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18 and 20mm, suitable for projects big or small. To adjust the dowel size, simply use the supplied hex key to unscrew the locking bolt, rotate the cutting block to one of 8 pre-set positions, and then screw securely in place again. Begin by taking either square or rounded stock, slightly oversized, and put a chamfer on the leading end. Mount the stock into a drill chuck and drive the stock through the jig, maintaining a straight drilling motion.

The ultra sharp carbide blade cleanly shaves the wood to size, leaving a smooth, accurately sized dowel. Engineered for long lasting sharpness, the blade can simply be released with the supplied torx key and rotated to a fresh, unused edge once worn. Countersunk holes in the base are used with the supplied wood screws to fix the jig securely in place, keeping both hands free for drilling.

The jig body and blade holder are CNC machined from aluminium, beautifully finished with a black electro-coating for wear and corrosion resistance. Turn unused offcuts into strong wooden dowels for your next woodworking project. ©

Excellent little product

Am delighted with this little dowel maker. It is up to Rutlands' usual high quality and is going to be extremely useful when making decorative items with contrasting exposed dowel joints

Oak

Used on seasoned oak and the blade had no issue producing well fitting uniform dowels.

Dowel Maker

Another great product from Rutlands that I will use every time I do some dowel joinery. The maker will allow you to create dowels from the same stock you are using for the project, so will exactly, making them nearly invisible - premade ones are never the same.

No good for clean dowels

Despite this dowel maker being solid and weighty I’m afraid it just cannot make clean and accurately sized dowels. The jig looks promising with a variety of different sized holes and a sharp blade which is held firmly in place. Unfortunately the results are completely unacceptable.
