Frequently Asked Questions about Round Rod Machine

What is the difference between a round rod machine and a dowel machine?

They are the same family of machine: a round rod machine mills square stock into cylindrical rods, and the rods it produces are called dowels. Model choice depends on the diameter, length and output you need.

Can a round rod machine also thread the rods?

Some models only mill the rod; multiple round stick machines add automatic double-sided threading so a handle comes off the line ready for assembly. Tell us your end product and we will confirm which type fits.

Which round rod machine suits a small workshop?

For flexible, low-volume work a single-head round rod machine such as the MC9060 is a good starting point; as output grows a multiple round stick machine with double-sided threading cuts labour per piece sharply.
