Dowel
A dowel pin is a cylindrical fastener used to precisely align and join components in various applications such as woodworking and machinery assembly. By inserting dowel pins into corresponding holes in mating parts, these pins ensure accurate positioning, prevent relative movement, and enhance the structural integrity of the assembly. Dowel pins streamline the assembly process by simplifying alignment and contribute to stability. They come in different sizes and materials, featuring various end types to suit specific application requirements. While effective for many purposes, dowel pins may be used in conjunction with other fasteners in high-stress situations for a more robust connection.
