Miniature Wood Dowel Draw Plate – Create Dowels Under 1/16"

When your project calls for wood dowels smaller than 1/16", you won’t find them pre-made—but you can make them yourself with this specialized Draw Plate for wood. Perfect for model shipbuilders, scale modelers, and miniature craftsmen.

How it Works:

The hardened steel plate features a series of tapered holes ranging from 3/32" down to .020". To create a fine dowel (for example, 1/32"):

• Start with a 1/16" dowel or a 1/16" x 1/16" square strip.
• Insert it into the smallest hole it will fit.
• Pull it through—the sharpened edge shaves the wood as it passes.
• Move progressively through smaller holes until you reach the exact diameter you need.
