1/4 x 4 Heat Treated Steel Standard Dowel Pin is a precision locating pin for assemblies where screws clamp and dowels locate. The pin is made slightly large by design; the press fit comes from the relationship between the ground pin and the prepared hole.

Common uses include indexing stops, locator blocks, and gauging hardware, where the pin establishes position and nearby screws provide clamp force. For worn or re-reamed holes, 0.001 Oversize Dowel Pins are the repair companion to standard pins used for initial installation.

Cold Headers has supplied specialty industrial fasteners since 1962 and supports exact-size dowel pin sourcing. Review the nominal diameter, measured pin range, recommended hole size, end form, and length before matching this dowel pin to an assembly.
