Pretty fast and handy way to make dowels when needed. Do you have any idea what a maximum size would be, if such a thing exists?
I'm thinking of balusters in a dog crate, or hand railing, etc?

Good question. The largest size I've done this with is 1/2" cutting hole. I can't see why it wouldn't work doing larger hole sizes. It's worth a try. I think anything over half inch would warrant thicker stock like 1/4" or 3/8".
