Small workshop hardware for precise locating and shelf support, made with tight tolerances and hardened bearing steel. Ideal for DIYers and workshop technicians who need pins that slot in neatly and endure repeated use, sourcing map Dowel Pins remove uncertainty from small assemblies. Are 2mm by 6mm pins the right fit for your cabinets and jigs?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Dimensional Accuracy: Manufactured to a +/-0.02mm diameter tolerance for consistent, repeatable fits
- • Best for: Press tools, jigs and fixtures, plus cabinet shelf support applications
- • Not ideal for: Large-diameter shelf supports or heavy structural load-bearing uses
2mm by 6mm bearing steel dowel pins supplied in a 100-piece pack. Tapered ends, 0.2Ra finish and 58-62HRC hardness combine for easy insertion and durable locating performance.
Long-lasting wear resistance – with bearing steel hardened to 58-62HRC
Bearing steel heat-treated to a hardness range of 58-62HRC increases surface strength and resistance to plastic deformation. High hardness helps maintain dimensions under repeated insertion and contact stress.
Greater wear resistance means pins keep their shape through repeated use, reducing the need for frequent replacement in jigs and fixtures.
Consistent locating accuracy – thanks to +/-0.02mm diameter tolerance
Precision machining holds each pin within a +/-0.02mm tolerance, ensuring minimal variation between pieces. Tight tolerances allow predictable fits in prepared holes and repeatable positioning.
Expect reliable alignment when matching holes are prepared to the recommended size, which simplifies assembly and improves repeatability.
Easy installation and neat finish – with tapered ends and 0.2Ra surface finish
Tapered ends guide the pin into place, reducing the risk of catching on edges, while a 0.2Ra machined finish creates a smooth, burr-free surface. Smooth surfaces lower insertion friction and prevent scuffing.
Faster, neater assembly for visible fittings and fewer hiccups when mounting shelves, assembling jigs, or seating bearings.
✨ The 4 Key Reasons for sourcing map Dowel Pins
- 58-62HRC hardness – Resists wear through repeated insertions, prolonging component life
- 0.2Ra smooth finish – Reduces friction for easier insertion and less scuffing
- Tapered ends – Guide pins into holes, speeding assembly and alignment checks
- 100-piece pack – Ample quantity for multiple projects or small workshop stock

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size are the pins included in the pack?
A: Each pin measures 2mm in diameter and 6mm in length, supplied as 100 pieces in the pack.
Q: What material and hardness are the pins made from?
A: Pins are made from bearing steel with a smooth, burr-free surface and a hardness of 58-62HRC.
Q: Will these pins fit cabinet shelf holes?
A: They are suitable as shelf support pins provided the cabinet holes match the 2mm diameter; for a snug fit make holes equal to or slightly smaller than the stated diameter and use the tapered ends to ease insertion.
🏆 Our Verdict
Best suited for DIYers, cabinet makers and workshop technicians who need many small, consistent locating pins. Tight +/-0.02mm tolerance, hardened bearing steel and a smooth 0.2Ra finish make the pack practical for jigs, fixtures and shelf supports. Durable construction and a 100-piece quantity deliver sensible long-term value for repetitive workshop tasks.
