A dowel plate's job is to turn square sticks into round dowels, and the new offering from DFM fits the bill nicely. Made from A-2 steel, the plate’s best feature is the number of holes at your disposal.

This new design offers woodworkers and makers the first commercial dowel plate with 1/32 (0.031) increments between hole sizes to make the process easier than traditional plates with 1/8 or 1/16 holes. This is especially helpful in hardwoods. The holes are counterbored which means the hole bottom diameter is larger to reduce friction on the dowel as it passes through each hole.
