What is Cam and Dowel? 

Cam and Dowel is an accessory used to join two pieces of wood together, securely and effortlessly. 

The round cam slots into a pre drilled fitting hole that will be compatible with usually a cross head screw driver or a flat screwdriver. The dowel then slot into another piece of wood, then into the cam. Once the cam is twisted into position and locked using a screwdriver, the two pieces of wood are brought and tightened together.
