2x starter kit contains a 2x stepped drill bit and 50 birch dowels
2x stepped dowels are 3-3/8” long and 1/2” in diameter and designed for stock up to 1-5/8” thick
Miller dowels uses a patented stepped drill bit and dowels that produce better, stronger joints with less effort and set up
The stepped, ribbed dowel design reduces the amount of glue squeezed off as the dowel is driven home creating a stronger adhesive bond
Miller Dowels are a suitable alternative to mortise and tenon, loose tenon, traditional blind or through dowel or biscuit joints requiring less set up and specialized machinery
The Miller Dowel 2X is designed for joining wood up to
1 5/8" thick. The wide variety of dowels gives woodworkers the opportunity to blend similar woods or design combinations that contrast different species.
The 2X is ideal for use in wood projects where thicker wood is preferred for added strength such as in bedframes, decking, cabinetry, tables and shelving. And the 2X can serve as an effective, simple and easy alternative to traditional blind dowels, biscuits or mortise and tenon joinery.
The Miller Dowel 2X Joinery Kit includes 50 birch dowels and a TruFit® drill bit made of industrial strength high speed steel. The drill bit and bags of 40, 100 and 500 dowels of each species are also sold separately.
