5/16 x 7/16 Heat Treated Steel Standard Dowel Pin is a precision ground pin for assemblies that need controlled press-fit location. For example, this nominal size measures above nominal; the pin is made big so the fit is made right.

Common uses include indexing plates, locating plates, and assembly tooling, where the pin establishes position and nearby screws provide clamp force. Alloy Steel Socket Head Cap Screws and Stripper Bolts are natural clamping and guiding partners around a dowel-located joint.

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.
