3/16 x 4 1/2 Heat Treated Steel Standard Dowel Pin gives machine builders a hardened locating element for plates, bases, and tooling assemblies. For example, this nominal size measures above nominal; the pin is made big so the fit is made right.

In retrofit work, die repair, and maintenance replacement, 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.
