2" Dowel from a 2x2 MPC

[PCW]

Thanks for the reply Bud. That's kind of why I was asking about removing the four corners so it would get you close to 2". Hard to picture it and don't know the restriction. Just curious on my part.

Any portion of the stock that exceeds the 2 inch diameter of the intended dowel will bind in the jig. The design is based on using 2 inch dowel stock. Perhaps the attached drawing will help you see the issue with any stock outside of the 2 inch diameter.
