Stainless Steel 304 Dowel Pins
General-purpose austenitic stainless — widely specified, less free-machining than 303.
304 is the stainless most drawings default to — widely specified, widely understood, and adequate for the great majority of indoor and general-purpose work. For a turned pin it sits awkwardly between its neighbours: less machinable than 303 and less corrosion resistant than 316, so it is usually chosen because a drawing already called it out rather than because it is the best fit for the part.
If a drawing calls for 304 specifically, that is what gets made. If it simply says "stainless", it is worth a moment to decide whether 303 (cheaper, better machining) or 316 (better corrosion resistance) is the more useful answer for the assembly.
Any size, not a series
There is no size list here because there is no catalogue: diameters run from 0.015" to 0.375", including sizes between two standard ones, and lengths from 0.02" to 4" — turned to order rather than cut down from a stock pin and re-finished. Pricing in Stainless Steel 304 starts at $2.86 per piece at 100 off, and falls further at higher volumes.
