Value Collection MSC-67601609 Pull Out Dowel Pin 3/8x5/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-67601609 is a standard pull out dowel pin machined from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. At 3/8 inch in diameter and 5/8 inch in overall length, this pin is designed for precise alignment and positioning in assemblies where corrosion resistance and close-tolerance fit are required. The 18-8 stainless grade provides good resistance to rust and mild chemical exposure, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Diameter tolerance is held to 0.0002 inches, ensuring repeatable fitment in precision-drilled holes. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians install this type of pin in jigs, fixtures, dies, and general mechanical assemblies.

This pull out dowel pin is used in precision alignment applications across manufacturing, machine shop, and maintenance environments. Its pull out design includes a threaded or tapped end that allows extraction from blind holes using a standard puller or threaded rod, making it practical in assemblies where the pin cannot be driven out from the back. Typical applications include die sets, mold alignment, fixture plates, and machine component registration. This pin is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 50 units.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments
• Bright uncoated finish — no added coating that could affect hole tolerance stack-up
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for close-fit precision alignment
• Pull out design allows safe extraction from blind holes without back-driving
• Compact 3/8 x 5/8 inch form factor suits tight-clearance assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard pull out dowel pin for use in precision alignment applications including jigs, fixtures, dies, molds, and machine component assemblies that require a 3/8 inch diameter hole and 5/8 inch pin length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a press or mallet into a reamed or precision-drilled hole. Power down and de-energize all equipment before installing or removing pins in live machinery. Use the appropriate extraction tool threaded into the pull out end to remove the pin from blind holes — do not attempt to drive the pin out from the side or strike the stainless body with hard tools, which can cause galling or hole damage. Verify hole diameter and depth against pin specifications before pressing to final position.
