Dowels work great to joint two pieces of wood and add strength to a joint. This kit solves two basic problems when using dowels – drilling the holes at a set depth, not too shallow, not too deep, and aligning the dowel locations in each piece of wood. Using the stop collar helps you set the desired depth. Allan wrench provided locks the collar on the bit. The bit is a sharp titanium-nitride coated brad point drill – will keep sharp a long time and the brad point provides a square bottom hole compared to a normal bit. Using the dowel hole center points eases the process, first drill holes in the first piece of wood, insert the center points, align the second piece of wood on top, tap to mark the location on the second board, and then drill the second set of holes. Use wood glue on the supplied birch dowels and you get a strong, aligned joint. You can also use the drill and stop in a self made dowel jig using a scrape piece of wood instead of the center points.
