What is the diameter of the drill bit included?
The drill bit included in this set has a diameter of 8 mm.
Can I use this set for materials other than wood?

How many dowels are included in the set?
The set includes 32 pieces, which comprise a drill bit, depth stop, dowel positioner, profile wooden dowels, and wood glue. The exact number of profile wooden dowels is not specified but is sufficient for a typical application with the included components.
What is the purpose of the dowel positioner?
The dowel positioner is used to accurately mark the location for the corresponding dowel hole on the second piece of wood, ensuring perfect alignment between the two pieces being joined.
Does the set come with enough glue for multiple projects?
The set includes a quantity of wood glue suitable for use with the provided dowels and for typical applications. For extensive projects, you may need to purchase additional wood glue separately.
What is the length of the dowels?
The product specifications indicate a 'Length: 40 mm' which refers to the drill bit length. The length of the profile wooden dowels is not explicitly stated but is compatible with the 40mm drilling depth.
Troubleshooting
Drill bit not centering properly
Ensure the centring tip is clean and undamaged. Apply firm, consistent pressure when starting the drill.
Inconsistent hole depth
Verify the depth stop is securely fastened to the drill bit at the correct measurement. Ensure the drill bit is fully inserted into the drill chuck.
Dowels do not fit snugly
Check that the drilled hole diameter matches the dowel diameter (8mm). Ensure the drill bit is perpendicular to the surface for a clean, round hole.
Wood glue is too thick or hardened
Store wood glue in a temperate environment. If hardened, replace the glue as it may compromise joint strength.
