The pin measures 1\/8 inch in diameter with an overall length of 6 inches and a usable pin length of 5-7\/8 inches. Constructed from steel with a soft hardness rating, it is designed for applications where the pin must be driven, pressed, or removed without damaging surrounding components. The 1\/4 inch head diameter and 1\/8 inch head height provide positive seating and a defined stop surface. Machinists, tool and die makers, and general fabricators install these pins in locating and alignment fixtures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis soft core pin is suited for use in tooling plates, drill jigs, and modular workholding systems where repeatable part location is required. The soft hardness makes it appropriate for setups where pin replacement is routine or where driving the pin flush is part of the workflow. It is sold individually and is a direct consumable or replacement item in production and maintenance toolroom settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft core hardness allows the pin to be driven or pressed without cracking or shattering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch pin diameter for use in standard locating pin bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 inch overall length with 5-7\/8 inch usable pin length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch head diameter provides a positive stop surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel construction for durability in metalworking fixture applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as a single unit for toolroom or low-volume replacement use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard soft core locating pin for use in drill jigs, tooling plates, and workholding fixtures requiring 1\/8 inch diameter pin bores.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by machinists or tool and die technicians using a pin press or soft-face mallet. Ensure the receiving bore is clean and dimensionally correct before pressing the pin to avoid galling or bore damage. De-energize or lock out any associated machinery before servicing fixtures with installed locating pins. Do not use hardened driving tools directly on the pin head, as the soft core material is not rated for impact from hardened surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Soft Core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5-7\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Hardness\u003c\/strong\u003e: Soft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23151516\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIBRALTAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: CP4242-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51713435894066,"sku":"CP4242-G","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2636a2fe670e1bf39eae4b41aa2f5b9c.jpg?v=1788493680","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-cp4242-g-soft-core-pin-1-8-in-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
