Drawboring is a joinery technique that produces strong, durable joints without need for glue or clamps. The key to making a tight joint this way is to offset the peg holes by 1/16" to 3/32" between the mortise and tenon, so as a wooden peg is inserted, the joint is drawn together. Ensuring proper alignment before final assembly can be tricky. This is where a drawbore pin is useful. Its tapered shaft acts as a wedge, drawing the joint together just as a wooden peg would, allowing a test fit prior to assembly. It also partially aligns the offset holes, helping clear the way for the wooden peg that will ultimately secure the joint.
