Spring-Loaded Guide Pins
Steel Head
Plastic Head
As the workpiece pushes against the pin head in one direction, the internal spring pushes back to hold it in place for clamping. Press into a drilled hole using the installation tool (sold separately). Also known as spring locating pins and side-thrust pins.
Plastic-head pins won't mar soft metal and polished surfaces.
