MPN: 633751

Overview:

The Silverline Birchwood Fluted Wooden Dowel Pins 6mm x 30mm (633751) are made for accurate, strong timber joints in furniture building, cabinetry and general woodworking. Produced from air-dried birchwood and finished with a fluted (grooved) profile, these dowels improve glue distribution and increase the bonding surface for a more secure joint. The grooves also allow excess adhesive to escape as the dowel is inserted, helping prevent hydraulic pressure that can stop parts closing properly. Supplied in a handy pack of 200, they’re ideal for joining timber, MDF and chipboard in repeat jobs.

Silverline Birchwood Fluted Dowel Pins 6mm x 30mm – Key FAQs

• What are fluted dowel pins used for?
  Fluted dowels are used to join timber and board materials accurately. The grooves help spread glue and improve bond strength, making them ideal for furniture and cabinet assembly.

• Why choose fluted dowels instead of plain dowels?
  The flutes increase the gluing surface and create channels for excess adhesive to escape, helping parts close fully and reducing the risk of hydraulic lock in tight holes.

• Do dowel joints hold stronger than glue alone?
  Yes. Dowels reinforce the joint by adding mechanical strength and alignment, so the bond is typically stronger and more durable than relying on adhesive alone.

• What drill size should I use for 6mm dowels?
  Use a 6mm drill bit and drill to a depth that suits the dowel length, leaving a little space for glue at the bottom of the hole for best fit and adhesion.

• Are these suitable for chipboard and MDF?
  Yes. These dowels are commonly used for chipboard and many furniture boards, especially in flat-pack style construction, shelving, and cabinet carcass assembly.

• How many dowels do I need per joint?
  It depends on the load and joint size. As a guide, use multiple dowels spaced evenly along the joint for strength and alignment, especially on shelves and wide panels.
