I had no idea such a thing had existed. I was intrigued by your design illustration and started to look things up based on your description. Initially I saw something called "dowel plates". I watched some great videos of folks creating dowels (out of sections of wood that they had cut on a bandsaw) via these plates . I thought that was the coolest thing ever. One of my favorite shows was something that had once aired on PBS. A woodworker would create projects out of what were essentially man-made tools. Everything was from scratch. It reminded me of that show.
As for the keywords, I don't know how it came about. I read your description and started looking at the plate pages and I think the ebay page that Steve had sent. It was Dowel and Flute that resulted in the initial link.
Thank You so much. Just placed my order for one and with shipping it was less than $21.00. There are lots of times when I need a dowel or two that is longer than the standard 1 or 1 1/2 inch but the pressure lock from inserting a regular smooth dowel means I need to do something to score the sides. This will be just what the doctor ordered. I don't know what you used for a key search word but it had to be one I overlooked.
