- Board Application: each steel dowel plate has 17 holes, from 1/8 inch to 5/8 inch, in 1/32 inch increments, to meet your needs for making custom dowels out of hardwood, softwood and more.
- The benefit of drilling holes in small increments is that the operation requires minimal shock, and the nails can be easily resized starting from a slightly larger diameter.
- How to Use: prepare a tough hammering tool and a space for the wooden nails to enter.
- Fix the dowel plate on the workbench, and cut the blank with a chisel until you find the straightest grain, otherwise the nails will not be straight.

- Warm Note: this steel plate can make up to 6 inch pins, the smaller the hole, the shorter the length of the pins.
