Dowel Pins

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

Undersized Dowel Pins

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

Oversized Dowel Pins

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

Dowel Pin Stock

Cut this 12" stock to the length you need.

Pull-Out Dowel Pins

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

Flat-Vent Pull-Out Dowel Pins

The flat side of these pins relieves trapped air, making them easier to insert in and remove from blind holes. To remove, thread a screw or tool into the tapped hole, then pull the pin out.

Spiral-Vent Pull-Out Dowel Pins

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.

Round Head Full-Groove Dowel Pins

Grooves hold these pins in place, and a round head gives them a finished appearance.

Full-Groove Dowel Pins

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.

Half-Groove Dowel Pins

These pins make good hinges or pivots. The grooved half locks pins in position, while the smooth half can act as a pivot. Also known as type H pins.

Center-Groove Dowel 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.

Half-Groove Dowel Pins with Notch

These pins are commonly used as anchors for tension springs. The grooved half locks pins in position, and spring ends fit in to the notch. Also known as type G pins.

Quarter-Groove Dowel 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.

Half-Knurled Dowel Pins

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

Knurled Dowel Pins

The full length of these pins is knurled for a tight grip that won't spin.

Center-Knurled Dowel Pins

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

Round Head Barbed Dowel Pins

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

Two-Way Barbed Dowel Pins

Use these pins to fasten components made of soft materials such as plastic or aluminum. Opposing barbs bite into each piece, pulling them together for a tight, secure fit.

Dowel Pin Assortments

Dowel pins are commonly used as pivots, hinges, shafts, jigs, and fixtures to locate or hold parts. They're slightly oversized for a tight fit.
