Wooden Dowel Pins 6mm x 40mm Fluted Wood Dowels Rods, Approx 1/4 x 1.6 inch, Made of Hardwood, 200 Pcs

Thought theyd be stronger

What can be said about a wooden dowel other than they work exactly as they should.

Perfect

They are too fat

Would love these to be in the posted diameter, maybe then I could use them. Unfortunately theyre 9.2mm. Not fluted either, more like textured.

Basically, these wood dowels are crap. I drilled a 0.375 (3/8) hole in all my work piece anticipating to receive these 3/8 Dowels and finish up quickly. Instead I could see right off they did not fit. They measured 0.390 instead. I can not recommend this brand to any serious wood workers. These are sub standard. Id ask for my money back but I had to finish and found a 0.390 to finish - HOWEVER, the drill was not for wood and made a mess of the holes. After a lot of sanding it was passable. NOT HAPPY !! I threw the rest out. No sense in working with parts that do not meet specifications. Maybe somebody needs to find a hole chart to realize 3/8 = 0.375.

The 6mm X 40 mm fluted wooden dowel Pins from Axe Sickle are a great product at a great price. Im thrilled theyre made from a hardwood. For what its worth. Im planning on using them to make mushroom spawning plugs. Looking forward to seeing how the mushroom mycelium colonizes these hardwood dowels and the way they perform when inoculating logs.

They are more than needed but they will come in handy for the future,

But for the price, I cant complain.

I just got these dowels in and they are marginally larger than what I expected. However they are useable by tapping them in with a plastic hammer. Otherwise they seem to be standard dowel pins.
