Solid & Efficient Fluted Dowel

The fluted dowel I purchased from the fasteners category of Industrial and Scientific has definitely exceeded my expectations. Based on my observations, the product is solidly built and works efficiently in holding things together. The grooves on the dowels provide a sturdy grip, minimizing any chances of slip-off. However, the packaging could definitely be improved. The dowels were very loosely packed, and some of them were scattered around in the box. Nonetheless, the product itself is…

Pros
  • Easy to install and use for novice woodworkers.
Cons
  • May require carving/sanding to fit perfectly in some projects.

These dowels are solid.

This is a great deal but be aware that if you use them with a Milescraft dowel tool (and possibly any other tool or drill bit, but I use it) . When using them in 3/4" birch plywood, I had to manually shave off whatever came out at the ends because they split the plywood. Some also tend to have more square ends, so keep that in mind when determining depth. I will probably look for another option if I need this size again unless I need a set for a change but I will still use this one again if it…

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • I don't remember but something was

Not the best quality but they work.

Spacer for dowels. For the price you pay for them you really can't expect them to be great. It's not the highest quality wood, and they're not the best, but they're great for most hobby projects.

Pros
  • Grooved pins for excellent adhesion
Cons
  • Very expensive
