Use metric dowel pins to align and/or join components in machinery, construction and furniture-making.

Metric dowel pins are short cylindrical rods made of metal, plastic or wood. A steel metric dowel pin helps align machine components during the assembly process to ensure a consistent result. These pins are also used in masonry to join stone and concrete. Wood metric dowel pins are employed to create dowel joints in furniture, as well as for shelving pegs.
