Groove Pins
Groove Pins are another form of Dowel Pins, yet extremely versatile. For fitment, it only requires a drilled hole of the nominal diameter to its own.
The grooved pin is a solid metal parallel cylinder into which pressed longitudinal grooves using a chisel-edged tool or rolling disc, in three equally spaced circumferential positions. The grooving causes the pin to deform and locally increases its diameter at different positions down the length of the pin according to type. When assembled into an appropriate sized hole, the local ‘growth’ deforms elastically and gives substantial frictional grip.
Metric and inch sizes available from stock. Groove pins are offered in both Mild Steel and A2 Stainless Steel.
