Miller Dowel 1X Easy-Step Joinery Set for Woodworking
Category: dowel joiner

Lauded as one of the standout innovations from the 2002 Show Circuit by Wood Magazine, Miller Dowel has redefined peg construction, offering clear advantages over conventional methods. Begin by choosing the appropriate Miller Dowel and drill bit tailored to your project. Secure the wood pieces you wish to join, either by gluing and positioning them first or not. Next, drill the stepped pilot hole specifically for the dowel using the provided drill bit.* Apply a small amount of glue to the grooved sections of the dowel and insert it, allowing it to drop about two-thirds of its length – this self-aligns without pre-gluing or clamping, ensuring precise alignment with the second board.
Drive the dowel all the way in using gentle tapping. Afterward, trim or sand any protruding parts for a clean finish. The starter kit includes a stepped drill bit and 50 birch dowels, each measuring 2-5/8" in length and 3/8" in diameter, ideal for joining stock up to 1" thick.
Miller Dowels leverage a patented design featuring stepped drill bits and dowels that facilitate stronger, more robust connections with less effort and setup required. The stepped, ribbed dowel design minimizes adhesive loss during insertion, resulting in a firmer bond. As an alternative to mortise and tenon, loose tenon, traditional blind or through dowel, or biscuit joints, Miller Dowels simplify the process, eliminating the need for specialized equipment and extensive setup. They represent a convenient and efficient solution for woodworking projects.
