Item 05J4501, Basic Dowel Maker (1")

Dealer Information

  • Our dowel maker lets you make perfectly sized dowels from 1/4" to 1" dia. in 1/16" increments, up to 4' long (or longer in the larger diameters) from any wood species you wish
  • The process uses two A2 tool steel blades, one for roughing and the other for final sizing
  • Just rip square stock 1/8" oversize and drive it through the dowel maker using a square socket drive in an electric drill
  • Following simple instructions, set the two blades for the size you want, make a short section of dowel and then adjust the finishing blade to bring the dowel to exact size
  • The fine adjustment is required since woods of different densities have different fiber springback when cut
  • The cast and anodized aluminum body drilled to make 1" dia. dowel and includes both 1" and 15/16" steel guide bushings
  • The range of blade adjustment lets you make dowel as much as 1/16" undersize (frequently an advantage when you want it slightly undersize for a sliding fit) so we include a 1/16" undersize guide bushing
  • The body of the dowel maker incorporates micrometer adjustments in both blade-fixing mechanisms
  • Also included is a simple jig for precise replacement of blades when they have to be removed for sharpening
  • Can be held in a vise, bolted to a bench, or anchored through a 3/4" dog hole using the optional dog assembly
  • The basic dowel maker comes with the body and blades, a 1 1/8" square socket drive with drive adapter, 1" and 15/16" guide bushings, a wrench and hex keys
  • Optional inserts are available separately
  • The master set comes with the inserts and bushings necessary for the 13 dowel sizes from 1/4" to 1" in 1/16" increments, all in a fitted case that holds everything except the bulky main body
  • The case is also available separately if you choose to build your set over time
  • Patented
  • Made in Canada
