    Undersized Dowel Pins

    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.

    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.

    Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Dowel Pins. Undersized Tolerance, Plain Head.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments. In addition to resisting rust, these pins also withstand mild chemicals such as cleaners and degreasers. They are strong enough to join most components but won't withstand extreme stress and vibration as well as steel.
