Overview:

The Silverline 8mm x 40mm Birchwood Wooden Fluted Dowels are precision dowel pins designed for strong, accurate joinery in timber and chipboard, Supplied in a handy 200 pack. These air dried birchwood dowels are ideal for cabinet and kitchen unit construction, shelving supports and general furniture making where repeatable alignment and added joint strength matter. The fluted finish helps glue spread evenly along the dowel, improving grip and reducing trapped air, which can result in a more reliable bond.
