    Partially Knurled Dowel Pins
    3D CAD models available

    A section of knurls around the entire diameter of these pins make better contact with the hole than partially grooved pins. The knurls resist both pulling and twisting that can displace the pin and damage the hole, while the smooth portion acts as a hinge or pivot.

    These pins lock in the middle, leaving two smooth ends free. They're often used to create a T-handle, such as on a valve stem to open and close it by hand.
    Zinc-Plated Carbon Steel—These pins withstand occasional exposure to moisture. However, since friction from moving parts can wear away the finish, they're not ideal for wet environments. While not nearly as corrosion resistant as stainless steel, they are stronger and won’t deform under stress.
