5/16 x 6 Heat Treated Steel Standard Dowel Pin provides the fixed reference used around clamps, screws, and guided tooling hardware. Standard Series dowels are intentionally oversize, with the basic diameter 0.0002 in. over nominal so the pin presses into a nominal reamed hole.

For weld fixtures, stop blocks, or repeatable nests, confirm the reamed hole condition, pin diameter, and length before release to production or repair. 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 helps toolrooms, maintenance teams, and industrial distributors locate hard-to-find dowel pin sizes. Review the nominal diameter, measured pin range, recommended hole size, end form, and length before matching this dowel pin to an assembly.
