Value Collection MSC-67600528 Dowel Pin 3/16x1/2 Ss 18-8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-67600528 is a standard pull out dowel pin machined from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It measures 3/16 inch in diameter and 0.5 inches in overall length, with a diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for precise fitment in close-tolerance holes. The pull out style features a threaded internal socket or extended head to allow extraction without a punch, making it practical for assemblies that require periodic disassembly. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians use this pin to locate and align fixture components, jigs, and machine parts with repeatable accuracy.

This dowel pin suits light-duty alignment and locating applications in industrial, manufacturing, and maintenance settings. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for environments with moderate moisture or cleaning exposure, such as food processing fixtures, marine adjacent equipment, and general machine shop tooling. Its compact 3/16 inch diameter targets smaller fixture plates, precision jigs, and lightweight assembly components where a larger pin would be impractical. This SKU ships as a single pin; the minimum order quantity is 100 pieces.

Key Features

• Pull out design allows extraction without a punch or press in assemblies that require regular disassembly
• 18-8 stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance for wet or washdown-adjacent environments
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy without added coating thickness
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches ensures consistent, close-tolerance locating performance
• Compact 3/16 x 1/2 inch size fits small fixture plates, jigs, and precision tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard pull out dowel pin for close-tolerance locating and alignment applications in industrial fixtures, jigs, and precision machine assemblies requiring 3/16 inch diameter holes.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of precision dowel pins is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a drill press or arbor press to drive pins into reamed holes. Always ream the receiving hole to the specified tolerance before installation to avoid galling or seizing the stainless steel pin. Use the pull out thread or head feature with a proper extractor or slide hammer rather than driving the pin from the back with a punch to prevent bore damage. Verify that all machinery is fully de-energized and locked out before performing alignment pin service on powered equipment.
