Miller Dowel Company is the developer of a revolutionary new method of solid wood joinery. MDC was founded in 2001 in Winnetka, Illinois, and in 2002 they launched their patented new products, the Miller Dowel and the Miller TruFit Step Drill. We pride ourselves on the fact that we have introduced a simple, quick, and inexpensive new method of wood joinery. This is the result of a basic, unique relationship between our engineered dowel and a correspondingly sized stepped drill bit.
