Wood dowel pins KREATOR KRT110102 8x40 mm, pack of 40

Wood dowel pins KREATOR KRT110102 8x40 mm, pack of 40 are cylindrical wooden connectors designed for joining and aligning timber elements in furniture making, cabinetry and general carpentry. Each dowel measures 8 mm in diameter and 40 mm in length, providing a standard size for use with commonly drilled holes. The smooth surface and accurate dimensions allow reliable insertion into glued holes for concealed, load-bearing or alignment joints that speed up assembly and improve structural accuracy.

Advantages

These wooden dowel pins provide consistent geometry and a smooth finish that facilitate quick insertion and even glue distribution along the length of the dowel. The standard 8×40 mm size fits widely used drilling jigs and templates, reducing setup time. Packaged as 40 pieces, the set supplies enough connectors for multiple fixes or a small furniture project, while the natural wood material accepts adhesives well and produces nearly invisible joints when installed and sanded.

Suitable for

• Furniture assembly and repair
• Cabinetry and shelving installation
• Woodworking joinery and frame construction
• DIY home projects requiring concealed connections

Key specifications

• Material: beech or comparable hardwood suitable for dowels
• Diameter: 8 mm
• Length: 40 mm
• Quantity in pack: 40 pieces
• Shape: smooth cylindrical dowel

How to use

Drill matching 8 mm holes in the mating parts, ensuring correct alignment and depth for the 40 mm dowel length. Apply an appropriate wood glue into the hole or onto the dowel surface, insert the dowel with a firm push and align the components before clamping. Remove excess glue, clamp until the adhesive sets, and trim or sand any small protrusions to finish a concealed joint. For best results use a dowel jig or guide to maintain precise spacing and perpendicular drilling.

Usage recommendations

Choose a compatible wood glue (PVA or carpentry adhesive) and allow full curing time recommended by the adhesive manufacturer. Pre-fit and test alignment before gluing when working with visible surfaces. Store dowels in a dry place to prevent moisture-related swelling prior to use.
