Value Collection MSC-67600924 Dowel Pin Stainless 18-8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-67600924 is a standard dowel pin machined from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Measuring 0.25 inches in diameter and 0.75 inches in overall length, this pin is held to a diameter tolerance of plus or minus 0.0002 inches, making it suitable for precision alignment and locating applications. The 18-8 stainless steel alloy provides corrosion resistance and adequate strength for general industrial and mechanical assembly work. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics typically install these pins in jigs, fixtures, molds, and component assemblies where repeatable positioning is required.

This dowel pin is suited for use in light-duty to medium-duty mechanical assemblies across manufacturing, maintenance, and fabrication environments. The bright uncoated finish leaves the base stainless steel surface exposed, which is appropriate for clean-room adjacent environments or applications where coating adhesion or contamination is a concern. The pin is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 units, which aligns with typical shop stocking and production run requirements.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for industrial environments
• Tight diameter tolerance of plus or minus 0.0002 inches supports precision alignment applications
• Bright uncoated finish retains base material properties without coating buildup
• Standard dowel pin geometry compatible with common bored hole locating setups
• Compact 0.75 inch length suits shallow-clearance fixture and jig applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-geometry dowel pin for use in precision alignment, locating, and fastening applications where a 0.25 inch diameter stainless steel pin is specified.

Installation Notes

Dowel pins of this type are typically pressed or driven into reamed holes by machinists or maintenance technicians using an arbor press or a soft-faced mallet and pin driver. The mating hole should be reamed to the appropriate tolerance class to achieve the desired fit, whether slip, transition, or interference. Always de-burr and clean the receiving hole before installation to avoid galling the pin surface or damaging the bore. Pins should not be hammered directly with a steel hammer, as this can deform the pin end and compromise alignment accuracy.
