Introduction

The STAR PACK 24 Wooden Dowel M6 x 30mm is a versatile component used in woodworking projects for joining pieces of wood. Follow these simple steps to use it effectively.

Tools Required

• Drill
• Drill Bit (6mm)
• Wood Glue (optional)
• Clamps (optional)
• Measuring Tape or Ruler

Steps to Use

1. Mark the Drill Points

• Measure and mark the positions where you want to insert the dowels on both pieces of wood. Ensure that the marks are aligned for a proper fit.

2. Drill Holes

• Attach the 6mm drill bit to your drill.
• Drill holes at the marked points on both pieces of wood. Make sure the depth of the holes is slightly more than half the length of the dowel (approximately 15-20mm).

3. Insert the Dowels

• Optionally, apply a small amount of wood glue into each hole for a stronger joint.
• Insert the dowels into the holes on one of the wood pieces. Tap gently with a hammer if needed, ensuring they are snugly fitted.

4. Join the Pieces

• Align the second piece of wood with the first, ensuring that the dowels enter the corresponding holes.
• Press the pieces together firmly. Use clamps to hold the pieces in place if needed until the glue dries.

5. Finishing Touches

• Allow any glue used to dry completely before handling the joint.
• Sand the surface smooth if necessary to remove any excess glue or uneven surfaces.
