Used in joinery of solid wood or particle boards.
SIZE: 8x40mm
PACKAGING: Pack of 40 dowel pins
The dowel is made from solid wood. Dowel rods are often cut into shorter lengths, called dowel pins.
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.
TIP:
To stregthen joinery with dowels, ensure that the drilled holes allign properly.
