3/8'' Beadlock® Basic Starter Kit

Create rock-solid mortise and tenon joints with just your hand drill and this Beadlock® Kit. Patented system overlaps drill bit holes precisely to accept a special Beadlock® loose tenon. Ribbed tenon design prevents racking and increases the amount of precious face-grain glue surface. The result is an extremely strong, totally concealed joint. Included shim set allows you to mortise a variety of stock thicknesses, as well as to offset your mortises. Mortises in curved and tapered parts are simple. For narrow material, rip the tenon stock down to fewer ''beads.'' It's also ideal for reinforcing glass panel cabinet doors. Includes four .060" shims, two .030" shims, 3/8" HSS Drill Bit and a molded plastic case with added space for the optional accessory kits. All Accessory Kits include corresponding guide block, HSS drill bit and shim set.
