Dowel Cutters
Obtaining dowels to perfectly match a project or specific species of timber, is to say the least, almost impossible. Not so if you own a Veritas Dowel cutter and have a few timber off-cuts to hand.
These cutters can be used two ways. Either use them like a handheld pencil sharpener, to put accurate tenons on the tips of turnings or on rustic furniture components. Alternatively using a cordless drill, you need only cut square stock slightly oversize (1.5mm is ample) and use a square socket (with a 3/8" square drive to 1/4" hex adaptor) to power the stock through the dowel cutter.
The carbon-steel blade in the plated zinc-alloy body is adjustable. The curved blade is relatively
easy to sharpen when required. Imperial sizes only available 3/8"(9.5mm), 7/16" (11mm) and 1/2" (12.7mm) use the 1/2" drive socket for the 3/8" and 7/16" sizes and the 5/8" drive socket for the 1/2" dowel.
The four-sided square sockets have a 3/8" squaredrive end. The socket adaptor has a 1/4" hex shank. Carbon-steel blade in the plated zinc-alloy body Works equally well in soft, green or hard woods.
