OK I need some ideas.
I need some repetitive dowels in this case 3/16ths but often 1/4" dia.
They need to be an inch or two long.
I have 36" long dowel rods from the store.
I want them uniform and to have nice squared clean cut ends, not crushed or split.so they can be inserted into a matching drilled hole.
I want a small power tool with stops guides etc
Using the bandsaw, the table saw or the miter saw is way too dangerous for short, fragile pieces
I am using now a small hobby miterbox and a japanese flush cut trim saw to cut them by hand. But that is tedious and the saw with no tooth offset wants to bind up.Takes forever and I hate it.
I have also uses a standard miterbox and a backsaw but the cut is kind of rough.
Capturing the pieces once they've been cut is also always a chores - too small and dangerous to hold onto.
How do I do this with minimum effort, quick and clean
I have a dremel tool. Also one of those oscillating tools that I haven't found much use for.
