Review on πŸ”© English Steel Dowel Plate for DFM Applications by Rick Everett

Revainrating 3 out of 5

However quality. on pins

Expensive but happy to be wider; However, it is made with genuine quality as it is all about craftsmanship. Something rare these days when all the junk comes from everywhere. Update: Two days after using it, we had to give it two stars. The description says "The holes are countersunk, which means the bottom diameter of the hole is larger to reduce friction against the dowel as it goes through each hole." That all sounds good, though the reality is that when driving/drilling, the dowel will quickly move sideways and won't come out straight because the holes aren't straight. We put it in the base, then there is a tree under it, so they will go straight. As you can see in the picture we still need to buy new bits well sharpened to get the four big holes to do the same. We would have given 5 stars if the holes were straight. It is a pity; because due to lack of time they did not take into account the hole near the cone in the description and simply ordered it.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
