Dowel pins are designed to achieve
maximum holding power in assemblies
where parts must be accurately
positioned and held in absolute
relations to one another. Similar to
traditional wooden dowels, dowel pins
are small steel rods machined to a high
tolerance for accurate locating and
alignment. Their added strength means
for greater reliability and assurance
over time without the concern for
wood rot. Dowel pins typically come in
metric sizes with 1mm diameter
increments for ease of use in most
applications. Always consider the
length of pin when purchasing as unlike
their wooden counterpart, dowel pins
are more difficult to trim.
