Value Collection 40099 Pull Out Dowel Pin 3/8x1-3/4 in Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 40099 is a standard pull out dowel pin used for precision alignment and locating applications in machined assemblies. Made from Grade 8 alloy steel with a bright finish, this pin measures 0.375 inches in diameter and 1.75 inches in overall length. It features one beveled end and one rounded end for ease of insertion and extraction. With a single shear strength of 16,550 pounds and a double shear strength of 33,100 pounds, it handles demanding load conditions in industrial and mechanical assembly work. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians install this type of pin in tooling fixtures, jigs, and precision assemblies.

This dowel pin is suited for use in manufacturing environments where repeatable part alignment is required. Typical applications include fixture plates, die sets, and machine tool components where close-tolerance hole engagement is critical. The alloy steel construction and Grade 8 material rating make it appropriate for both light-duty production fixtures and higher-load mechanical assemblies. Sold in a package of 25 pins, making it practical for shop stock or job lot use.

Installation Notes

Installation typically requires a press or mallet along with a properly reamed hole sized to the pin diameter tolerance. Always de-energize and lock out any powered equipment before servicing assemblies containing dowel pins. The beveled end should be oriented toward the entry side of the hole to guide alignment during assembly. Follow applicable machinery safety standards and shop procedures when pressing or driving pins into hardened or close-tolerance bores.
