Dowels Wood 10 mm x 40 mm - Box of 100 Pieces

Dowels are useful and small wood joints that you can use to assemble your own furniture. By using dowels you ensure a solid construction. These dowels are 10 mm thick, 40 mm long and are supplied per box of 100 pieces. After drilling the holes, you can easily insert the dowels by hand or carefully using a hammer to connect 2 wooden objects. If necessary, use some wood glue for an even firmer assembly.

Wood dowels

To make a dowel connection, holes must first be drilled. The thickness of the dowels depends on the thickness of the wood you use. Here is an overview:

• For wood up to 18 mm thick, use dowels 6 mm thick
• For wood from 18 to 22 mm thick, use dowels 8 mm thick
• For wood thicker than 22 mm use dowels 10 mm thick

We recommend inserting dowels every 3 to 4 cm. It is important here that the holes are drilled perpendicular and that the holes in each wooden object are perpendicular to the holes in the other object. Please note, do not drill the holes deeper than the dowels are long. With this 40 mm dowel, you therefore drill a hole 20 mm deep in both objects.

Important: If you want to secure 2 boards together, the hole at the end must be drilled deeper than the hole in the flat wood. In addition, the dowels have small notches. When using glue, the glue will be pressed into these notches when pressing on the dowel, ensuring a very sturdy assembly.
