FAQs
What material are these dowels made from?
These dowels are made from durable beechwood.
What is the diameter of these dowels?
The diameter of these dowels is 6mm.
How many dowels are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 200 dowels.
What is the length of each dowel?

Can I use these dowels for particle board?
While primarily designed for solid wood, they can be used in particle board with caution. Ensure a pilot hole is drilled and use plenty of wood glue for adhesion.
What is the purpose of the fluting on the dowels?
The fluting helps prevent distortions in the wood and ensures a more secure and stable joint by allowing air and excess glue to escape.
What type of joints are these dowels best for?
They are suitable for all round wooden dowel joints, providing a strong and clean connection.
Troubleshooting
Dowel does not fit snugly into the hole
Ensure you are using a 6mm drill bit. If the hole is too large, the joint may be weak. Consider using a slightly larger dowel or reinforcing the joint.
Wood splitting during dowel insertion
Drill the hole slightly deeper or wider to relieve pressure. Ensure the wood is not excessively dry or brittle. Apply glue before insertion.
Joint feels weak after glue dries
This could be due to an improperly sized hole or insufficient glue. For future projects, ensure a tight fit and adequate glue application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use these dowels, drill holes of the same diameter (6mm) into the pieces of wood you intend to join. Apply wood glue into the holes and onto the dowels before inserting them. Then, press the wooden pieces together firmly. A rubber mallet can be used gently to ensure a secure fit.
Compatibility: These dowels are designed for all round wooden dowel joints. They are best used with hardwoods and softwoods where a 6mm diameter joint is appropriate. Ensure your drill bit is precisely 6mm for the best results.
Care: Store dowels in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which could lead to swelling. Keep them away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. After use, clean any excess glue from the surrounding wood.
