Value Collection SF043072 Dowel Pin 1/8x3/4 in Ss 316

Product Description

The Value Collection SF043072 is a precision dowel pin manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It measures 1/8 inch in diameter and 0.750 inches in overall length, with beveled ends for guided entry into mating holes. Built to ASME B18.8.2 standards, this pin holds a tight diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches, making it suitable for applications where accurate alignment and repeatable positioning are required. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians use precision dowel pins to locate fixtures, align components, and secure assemblies against lateral movement.

This pin is used in machine tool fixtures, jigs, dies, and precision mechanical assemblies across manufacturing, maintenance, and fabrication environments. The Grade 316 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or food-processing environments where carbon steel pins are not appropriate. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order. Typical applications include alignment of mating flanges, fixture plates, and precision-machined housings.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance compared to Grade 304
• Beveled ends for easier insertion into close-tolerance holes
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for precise, repeatable fits
• Meets ASME B18.8.2 fastener standard
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect dimensional accuracy
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds per pin

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision dowel pin for use in standard 1/8-inch diameter precision-reamed holes per ASME B18.8.2, suitable for fixture plates, jigs, dies, and alignment applications requiring Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins are typically pressed or driven into reamed holes by machinists or maintenance technicians using an arbor press or brass drift and hammer. Power down and de-energize any machinery before installing or removing pins in live assemblies. Holes should be reamed to the correct tolerance class before installation — do not force pins into under-sized holes, as this can damage the hole or the pin. Handle pins carefully to avoid nicks or burrs that would compromise dimensional accuracy.
