Description
- Solid birch dowel pins are ideal for wood joining. Birch wood is strong, dimensionally stable, and has good glue holding characteristics.
- Flutes remove the need to cut a flat or groove to relieve pressure and excess glue behind the dowel.
- Butt joints often need reinforcement, and dowels add the necessary strength and accuracy.
- Dowel pins measure 1/4” (.25”) in diameter x 1 1/8” (1.125”) in length.
- Includes 200 fluted dowel pins
Product Details
Butt joints are generally the weakest type of wood joint. To strengthen that joint, dowels can be used to add dimensional stability and surface area for a stronger bond with the glue. Hammering a round dowel into a round hole, especially with glue, can create a seal that traps air behind the dowel. This pressurized air and glue can split the wood. Fluted dowels prevent this by allowing multiple channels for air and excess glue to escape. Birch is strong, stable, and is well-suited for dowels.
Includes 200 fluted birch dowel pins, measuring 1/4” (.25”) in diameter x 1 1/8” (1.125”) in length.
