Most commercial dowelling is available only in nondescript Asian wood that has been milled, not turned. It is never perfectly round and seldom accurately sized. Using a hand drill for power, you need only cut square stock slightly oversize (1/16" over is ample) and use a square socket to power the stock through the dowel cutter. The carbon-steel blade in the plated zinc-alloy body is adjustable.
Works equally well in soft, green or hard woods. The curved blade is relatively easy to sharpen when required. Available in three finish diameters: 3/8", 7/16" and 1/2". The optional straight blade can be used to cut tapered tenons.
Dowel and tenon cutters made in Canada. Patented.
The four-sided square sockets are available individually or as a set that includes a socket adapter. Dowel capacity listed below. Both have a 3/8" square-drive end. The socket adapter has a 1/4" hex shank.
