1/16 x 5/16 Heat Treated Steel Standard Dowel Pin is used when mating parts need repeatable location instead of relying on bolts for alignment. Standard Series dowels are intentionally oversize, with the basic diameter 0.0002 in. over nominal so the pin presses into a nominal reamed hole.

This size is often reviewed for jigs and fixtures, locating nests, and drill fixtures when a drawing calls for standard-series press-fit dowels. 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 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.
