Review on πŸ”§ Enhance Precision and Efficiency with Milescraft 53460003 DowelBucket 5346 by Gregory Rasmussen

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great quality really mismatched size

I'm sorry I can't give this one 3.5 stars because 3 seems a bit light and 4 seems a bit too much. So if you are reading this just imagine half a star above it. The value really can't be beat. 375 dowels in the 3 most popular sizes for €10.50? Even if you buy a full length fluted bar and cut your own you can't beat that price. I almost feel bad for giving this review less than 5 stars just for that, but ultimately I have to. While the value is incredible, the reality is that measurements are very inconsistent in both length and width, and nearly all dowels used required a little sanding of the ends to remove some manufacturing flaws, probably where the bevel cut off at the ends. In the product's defense, the dowels tended to be larger than smaller, so sanding could fix a lot, but unfortunately a ton of them were undersized in one dimension or another, rendering them useless unless you were sanding they will be even bigger the next size smaller. I don't know what to expect from mass produced wooden dowels that cost a penny to make and buy, but I suppose it will take some work to get some of them to fit.

Pros
  • Best
