    To sand a larger dowel. Leave one end square and use a socket bit in ya drill to hold the square end. Works for me, hope it helps. 👍👍

    Dowels are crazy expensive and this is a great way to make sure they match the other wood in the build.

    Awesome video! I use 1/4” dowels to make thousands of packing tools for 420 rollers. The person that said this is too dangerous and that nobody would buy this equipment to make two sticks is dead wrong. These machines will save me thousands on my dowels.

    You can sand the larger dowels with a hand drill if you chuck up a hole saw (without the center drill) that's slightly larger than the diameter of the dowel, and wrap painter's tape around the end of the dowel until it fits snugly into the hole saw.

    • @WesHamstra
      @WesHamstra  4 года назад +3

      Great idea! I also thought about sticking a screw into the bottom of it, but then you need to make sure it’s dead centre.

      @lohikarhu734 4 года назад +2

      @@WesHamstra if you don't spin too fast, it's not bad, and you can locate center pretty well, put the dowel against the fence, a pencil where you think center is, rotate the dowel with the palm of the other hand...

    Cool idea. I made some glazing bead the other day, using a router and table saw. I'd started a project, then needed more bead, but the size I wanted wasn't in stock. Next time I need dowel, I'll try the router (although dowel isn't too costly, really).

  • @lohikarhu734
    @lohikarhu734 4 года назад +2

    to spin a big dowel in the drill, I guess that you could put a screw into the end of a larger dowel? Needs to be centered fairly well ;-) maybe use a hex head bolt, or Allen head (round head) , in a pilot hole...

      If you mount a featherboard on the table and a featherboard on the fence, there's no need to use your fingers to keep the wood against the cutter. It's far more safe.

      3/4” - 3/8” round over
      1/2” - 1/4” round over

      You would divide 32 in half and that is the size router bit you need. You need a 16mm bit

    • @jeffpicken5057
      @jeffpicken5057 3 года назад

      Probably a 1/2” router bit to make a 1” dowel and then sand it down to 25mm. As someone mentioned, if you have a 1” socket, you can put your dowel in that and chuck it in your drill. You may need to wrap a little tape around it if it slips in the socket.

    • @WesHamstra
      @WesHamstra  3 года назад

      Haha. I only learned mm in school. When I finished school and entered the work force I had to learn feet and inches because no one used mm. I naturally just use inches now. I prefer it.

    • @pingpong9656
      @pingpong9656 2 года назад

      Inches are KING for construction and accuracy down to 1/32 - they are way more easy to visualize and the units are very much human oriented. mm are great for tiny stuff, but I hate the units on anything over a cm as they are so hard to imagine. Fractions are just so instinctive too. I can easily visualize a foot, inch etc, but in metric I find it hard to visualize mm, cm or meters and there is nothing like a foot - horrible!
