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.

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.

Works, but dowels are not accurately sized.

This is a very sturdy well-made tool. Using good quality straight-grained wood, it easily makes dowels. However they tend to come out rather rough, needed quite a bit of sanding. More importantly, the dowels are not true to the sizes marked on the tool. They are about 0.5mm smaller than the marked size for each hole (and each hole is about 0.5mm larger in diameter than the marked size). This means that if you want a dowel of an exact size, eg to fit a drilled hole, you need to use the hole in the tool marked 1mm larger, then spin the resulting dowel in the drill with sandpaper wrapped around it, to bring it down to the exact size you want. So for example for an 8mm dowel, use the 9mm hole, which will give you an approx 8.5mm rough dowel, then sand it down to 8mm. Thus it works, but is not quite as sweet and simple to produce accurate dowels as it might appear!
