Lie-Nielsen Dowel Plate

This simple, old-fashioned tool lets you make your own dowels in any kind of wood you please, in 7 common and useful sizes. Operation is quite simple: split, whittle or shave a dowel or tenon blank to rough size, then drive it through the target hole in the dowel plate to produce an accurately dimensioned dowel. Though it's a simple tool, it's Lie-Nielsen; the plate is milled from A2 tool steel hardened & tempered to Rc60, with two mounting screw holes provided. Hole sizes are 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 1/2" and 5/8".
