3/8" Fluted Dowel Pins 27/Pack - Richelieu R77175
Richelieu's 3/8 in. x 1-1/2 in. fluted dowel pins join wood panels, shelves and furniture parts with a strong glued joint. The fluted (grooved) sides let glue spread evenly along the full length of the dowel and let trapped air and excess glue escape as the joint is clamped, instead of building pressure that keeps the joint from seating fully.
Chamfered ends make the dowel easier to start into a drilled hole by hand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why fluted instead of smooth dowels?
The grooves let glue spread along the full length of the dowel and let trapped air and excess glue escape as you clamp the joint, so the joint seats fully instead of hydraulic-locking on a pocket of glue.
What size hole do I drill?
A 3/8 in. bit matches this dowel's diameter. Drill a hole slightly deeper than half the dowel's 1-1/2 in. length on each mating piece.
