    Undersized Dowel Pins
    3D CAD models available

    You don’t need to create precise holes for these pins when aligning parts you plan to bolt together. They have a slightly undersized diameter to slip into place without the need for special installation tools, like an arbor press. Undersized pins are also used for prototyping and positioning components you need to assemble and disassemble frequently.

    High-Strength Alloy Steel—Our strongest, most wear-resistant pins, these won't bend or break from vibration. Use them for high-stress applications, such as mounting and aligning hydraulic cylinders and injection molds. They perform best in dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.
    Machinable Carbon Steel—Made of 12L14 carbon steel, these pins are the easiest to machine, so you can shape them if they don't quite match your hole dimensions. Stronger than stainless steel but not quite as strong as alloy steel, they won't deform from stress and vibration. Pins perform best in dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.
