Custom Tooling Pins

Often referred to as Dowel Pins. We prefer to call them Tooling Pins as most of our customers use them to mount their workpiece to either a Soft Tooling plate or directly to their machines work table for machining. The reason to use a custom diameter is generally driven by the part you want to machine. If it does not have holes that lend themselves to “Off the Shelf” diameters you need to tool to what it has available. Typical uses are for routing assembled PCB arrays into single units or during PCB fabrication for final board route. Other uses are for machining multiple small parts on large sheets. Most Often they are used in conjunction with our TMP Soft Tooling Material.

We offer them in any variety of diameters in either plus tolerance or more typically minus tolerance diameter. They are Centerless Ground for accuracy and finish. Material hardness is Rockwell 60-62. Lengths available from .125” to 1.50”. Material is heat treated steel, others such as non-heat treated or stainless steel are available. Additionally we can manufacture step pins.
