Value Collection 70004 Precision Dowel Pin 3x12mm 50-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 70004 is a precision dowel pin used to align, locate, and retain components in machined assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel with a bright finish, this pin measures 3 mm in diameter and 12 mm in overall length with rounded ends. It meets DIN 6325 and ISO 8734 standards, making it suitable for close-tolerance work where consistent dimensional accuracy is required. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and production assemblers install these pins in jigs, fixtures, dies, and structural assemblies where precise part positioning is critical.

This pin is suited for light-duty to medium-duty industrial applications where repeatable hole-to-hole alignment is needed. Common uses include fixture building, mold alignment, press-fit component location, and machinery assembly. The rounded end profile aids in initial insertion into reamed or precision-bored holes. Each order includes a package of 50 pins, making this a practical supply for shop stock or production line use.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for strength and hardness in demanding assembly applications
• Meets DIN 6325 and ISO 8734 standards for dimensional and tolerance consistency
• Rounded end type for easier seating into precision-bored or reamed holes
• Bright finish provides a clean surface with predictable fit characteristics
• 3 mm diameter x 12 mm length suits compact or tight-clearance assembly locations
• Sold in a 50-pin package for efficient shop stocking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard supply pin for machined assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and dies requiring DIN 6325 or ISO 8734 compliant precision dowel pins in a 3 mm diameter by 12 mm length specification.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins are typically installed by machinists or tool-and-die technicians using an arbor press or mallet into reamed holes sized to the appropriate interference or transition fit per engineering drawings. Ensure mating holes are clean, deburred, and dimensionally verified before pressing. Never force a pin into an undersized or misaligned hole, as this can cause bore damage or component cracking. Follow applicable shop safety practices and equipment lockout procedures when working on powered machinery during assembly or disassembly.
