A standard hardened and ground dowel pin will suffice. Where to purchase just one, well....

how about at mcmaster...

How long? You need just a plain jane gage pin? Check with any machinery tool dealer..they usually have loose ones floating around that came from?

"If thy pride is sorely vexed when others disparage your offering, be as lamb's wool is to cold rain and the Gore-tex of Odin's raiment is to gullshit in the gale, for thy angst shall vex them not at all. Yea, they shall scorn thee all the more. Rejoice in sharing what you have to share without expectation of adoration, knowing that sharing your treasure does not diminish your treasure but enriches it."

I would buy a centerless ground drill blank - from : You can buy M2 or what not - it isn't hard yet - but a quality finish - spec the length you need - e.g. 1/2" x 24" and finish quality.....

I have used them before and they are nice to deal with. They supply high tech drill blanks that drills are made from that most of us can't afford the whole set.

Mart> Uhm...I meant drill ROD...

What also works is "precision shafting", sold by MSC, McM-C, Sterling Instruments, et al.
