Why Use Metal Dowels?

Why Use Metal Dowels?
Dowels are a simple, effective and versatile fastener used in many assembly processes. Here are some more important advantages of metal dowels:
Close tolerances provide repeatable installation results in high-volume production environments
Prevent lateral movement of adjacent components
No additional mating hardware required
Bevel/chamfer or tapered end guide pin to hole
Radius ends resist part deformation during installation
