Q: How does a dowel former work?
Drive an oversize piece of wood through the sharp-edged A2 tool steel insert, and the excess material shears away to leave a dowel pin sized to the insert's opening.

Option:
Drive an oversize piece of wood through the sharp-edged A2 tool steel insert, and the excess material shears away to leave a dowel pin sized to the insert's opening.
The Veritas dowel former is available with Imperial inserts in 1/4", 5/16", 3/8" and 1/2", or metric inserts in 6mm, 8mm, 10mm and 12mm, all fitting the same mounting plate.
Yes, individual inserts and the mounting plate are both available on their own, so you can add sizes as your projects call for them.
The 3" plate fits into a 3/4" or 20mm dog hole for quick use, or you can screw it down permanently using its two mounting holes.
Each insert is solid A2 tool steel, a wear-resistant alloy that holds a sharp shearing edge through repeated use.
