Miller Dowel Joinery is a simple and revolutionary two-part system consisting of an engineered, stepped, hardwood dowel, and a matching stepped HSS drill bit. Joints created with Miller Dowels combine the advantages of natural wood joinery with the ease of nails or screws. The dowels and drills are sold as a kit.
JD has three kits available to suit your project. The Miller Dowel Mini X kit is best for joining half inch (1/2) stock, thinner woods such as plywood or laminates. The Mini-X joinery kit comes with 100 Birch dowels, plus a matching Miller TruFit high speed steel drill bit.
