Install these pins in a plate or table and mate with holes in a workpiece for precise alignment.

The shoulder provides a consistent height reference point and keeps the pin from being pressed through the fixture.

Screw the shank into a threaded hole for quick installation and removal.

When locating a workpiece using through-hole alignment pins, use one of these bushings and one standard bushing to prevent the pins from binding in your fixture.

The head on these pins slides side-to-side in one direction. Use one of these pins and one standard round-head pin to prevent jamming when loading and unloading workpieces with inconsistent hole spacing.

Support and position workpieces and fixtures from the bottom or side. These buttons press into a drilled hole for permanent installation.

Use these buttons to support and position workpieces and fixtures from the bottom or side. Their hex shape lets you screw them into a threaded hole with a wrench or socket.

As the workpiece pushes against the pin head in one direction, the internal spring pushes back to hold it in place for clamping.

Use these tools for easier guide pin installation.

Threading makes these guide pins easier to remove and replace than press fit, so they're useful for high-wear applications.

Use these metal dowel pins as pivots, hinges, shafts, jigs, and fixtures to locate or hold parts.

Slip these pins in and out during maintenance or prototyping—they’re undersized to make alignment easier.

Oversized to fit worn and enlarged holes, these pins work well as repair and replacement parts.

Grooves run the full length of these pins for a firm hold that won't spin. Use them in place of standard dowel, spring, and taper pins to fasten parts. Also known as type A pins.

Quarter-groove pins are well suited for hinges or pivots. The grooved end locks pins in position, while the smooth portion can act as a pivot. Also known as type C pins.

Center-groove pins are often used in place of clevis pins or to create T-handles. The grooved center locks pins in position, while the smooth ends act as a pivot. Also known as type E pins.

Use these as pivot or hinge pins. The knurled half locks pins in position, while the smooth half acts as a pivot.

Join two pieces of wood with these dowel pins. When glued, they expand for a tight fit.

Barbs bite into plastics and soft metals such as aluminum for a strong hold, and a round head gives a finished appearance.

To remove these pins, thread a screw or tool into the tapped hole, then pull them out.

A spiral groove cut into these pins relieves trapped air but stays in 360° contact with the hole for a secure fit that's easy to insert in and remove from blind holes. To remove, thread a screw or tool into the tapped hole, then pull the pin out.

Pass these pins through a mounting hole and weld the head to the surface.
