1/4 x 3 Heat Treated Steel Standard Dowel Pin is a bread-and-butter die and fixture component for repeatable part registration. Standard Series dowels are intentionally oversize, with the basic diameter 0.0002 in. over nominal so the pin presses into a nominal reamed hole.

In fixture plates, precision nests, and machined workholding, the hardened ground pin helps repeat location through service, teardown, and rebuild cycles. For corrosion resistance, compare 18-8 Stainless Steel Standard Dowel Pins rather than treating bare heat treated steel as a corrosion-resistant choice.

Cold Headers can help confirm the exact diameter and length before quoting pricing and availability. Review the nominal diameter, measured pin range, recommended hole size, end form, and length before matching this dowel pin to an assembly.
