You may have guessed it already but we're big on screws. Yet, even the folks at the Square Drive Screw Authority have to admit there are times when natural joinery looks better. The problem has been that natural joinery can take a lot longer to accomplish, so compromises, such as screw caps, have been around for some time.

Imagine a stepped, solid-wood structural fastener that forms tight joints all the way through. Unlike other methods of wood joinery, each of these requires minimal tools and can be installed anywhere they're needed in any project, from the outside in. The key to its utility is the unique, patented stepped design. The first section acts like a clamp that securely holds the first piece to the second. The second section gives the joint shear strength. The remaining sections bond with the anchor pieces to form a secure joint. The sections are not tapered, which means that the glue surface remains intact through the entire length of the dowel engaging with the wood.

How To Use<

To use the Miller Dowel system, you align and secure the wood pieces to be joined. Next, you drill the stepped pilot hole for your chosen dowel using the Miller Dowel Drill Bit. Spread a small amount of glue on the ribbed sections of your dowel and insert it so that it drops roughly 2/3rds of its length. It will self- center with the 2nd board even if you have 't preglued. Tap the dowel until it's fully inserted and trim or sand the raised portion. It's that easy to use, and by doing so, you avoid the risks of rot, rust, nail pops or splitting!
