Do you need to cut a groove in a dowel? (i.e. paper towel holder plan)
All you need is a table saw and a couple of 2"x4" scraps.
Wind the blade
completely down into the table saw. Clamp the 2"x4" scraps to the fence near the
blade.
Turn on the table saw and raise the height of the blade. As the blade cuts into the
dowel, rotate the dowel. (The dowel should be rotated in the opposite direction the blade
is spinning.)
Repeat this process to achieve the depth and length of groove you require.
