Four Cabinet Makers Dowels Assemblies For Baseboard Alignment

  • These dowels are currently being supplied to me with a zinc plated finish so are now silver on colour.
  • These cabinet makers dowel is easier to fit than the pattern makers although not as accurate, with a clearance of 0.3mm (0.012"). Diameter 8mm. For greater accuracy with the same ease of fitting, please see my other listings for precision dowels which are available in three sizes.
  • Some people refer to dowels as 'baseboard joiners' but this is misleading as dowels are used only to ensure correct alignment of the baseboards (and therefore the tracks), they do not secure the boards together. To join baseboards securely use toggle clips on portable layouts or nuts & bolts for permanent baseboards. See my other listings.

Fitting Notes

To ensure accurate alignment each corresponding pair of baseboard ends should be clamped together & drilled as a pair. Whenever possible this should be done in a pillar drill, before assembly of the baseboards. To ensure that the dowels are fitted securely into the baseboards the holes should be slightly undersized. Initially the board ends should be through drilled to approximately 3mm, followed by a 7.5mm drill (0.5mm smaller than the dowel diameter).

The dowels can the be either pressed or lightly hammered into the baseboard end.

There is a difference in the ends of the female half, one has a slight external chamfer, this end should be inserted into the baseboard.
