   Here's where I get in trouble. If you need it for long term for serious work, go to your local serious tool dristributor and ask the counter person to look up a hardened dowel sizing or dowel fluting plate on his computer from his many suppliers. If it is for casual use, try home despot, sears or the blue box, I have seen them there from general tool or irwin, I think. Good luck, Pat

   Yogi,

    

   Get a piece of aluminum plate scrap. Drill a hole nearly the size of the dowel. Cut little marks inop the edge of the hole with a small file so as to make a starburst patern. Put the plate in a vise and pound your dowel through it.
