I've always cut in one pass (I have a set of cheapo tap and dies I got about 30 years ago to experiment with. My biggest is 1"). Use a good straight, tight grained wood. I always cut them dry, and used the "1 turn in, 1/2 turn out" rule. Never had any real problems if I made my own dowels. Store bought dowels never worked for crap though. -James On Fri, Sep 17, 2021 at 4:50 PM James Warburton via groups.io |
