3/8 x 3/16 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 gauge fixtures, inspection tooling, and check fixtures, 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.
