Alignment pins also know as aligning pins are removable locating devices used to precisely align mating workpieces in jigs and fixtures to workholders and workholding devices. Pieces are aligned by installing a pin in one part and a liner in the other.

Types of standard alignment pin handle styles include: T pins, L pins, convertible handle, and no handle.

Locking alignment pins are useful when the workholder is upside down.

Drill bushings or drill guides are installed into a drilling jig to guide, support, and position a drill or other cutting tool during metalworking tasks.
Also known as drill guide bushings, or drill jig bushings these machine tools and their accessories work well with your end mills, and digital micrometers.

Reid Supply is a full line distributor from the top manufactures, the most common types of Drill Bushings are fixed or press-fit bushings, head press fit, threaded drill bushings, united and metric drill bushings.

Guide bushings provide a simple method for mounting guide wheels in a precise and rigid fashion. Insert a fastener with a washer in the through hole to attach wheels to machinery. Concentric version is for mounting in a fixed location. The eccentric version has an offset hole to provide an adjustable position and allow wheel fit-up adjustment to parallel guide track.

Bushings are used as spacers between pulleys and gears to prevent damage caused by vibration and dynamic loads. The durable bushing material is corrosion resistant.

Dies are used to create the male component of an assembly by cutting a thread on the external surface of a metal rod, such as a screw or bolt. Our selection of dies includes round adjustable dies and die stocks.

Slotted locator bushings are used with alignment pins to align two holes without binding. Supplied with roll pin to ensure accurate orientation.

A great liason between the shaft and the carriage, these bushings can handle a moderate amount of load while moving at a fast rate.

Combination drills and countersinks are short, double-ended drills used to produce a shallow conical or center hole, typically on the end of workpiece to be held between centers before turning in a lathe or cylindrical grinding.

Indexable cutting tools are a cost-effective and time-saving alternative to their solid tool counterparts. Since the cutting tip is a small insert, a lesser portion of cutting material is needed rather than making a solid tool of the same material. This allows the shank or tool holder to be made of a less expensive but tougher material. Plus, the removable inserts can be easily exchanged during production without affecting the overall geometry of the tool, thereby eliminating additional set-up changes. For grooving and parting applications, we offer grooving holders, grooving blades, integral shank toolholders, and parting inserts.

Cutting and tapping fluids are used to cool and lubricate tools and workpieces during metalworking processes. They help reduce friction, create cleaner cuts, and prolong tool life. From aluminum to stainless steel, our selection of multi-purpose lubricants can be used on all ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as some plastics. Available in fluid, aerosol spray, or stick lubricant, our products help make cutting cycles faster and easier.

Hole saws are used for making large hold diameters because they can do the job quicker than standard drill bits. We offer an assortment of hole saws, as well as pilot drills and arbors.

Combination spanner and specially designed protective caps for ring spanner and open-end spanner.

Spring pins are hollow and slotted so they can be driven and compressed into a slightly smaller hole.

These wire lock pins have a pin and cotter in one assembly. The wire loop is pulled over the pin end to lock it in place or remove it. Eliminates cotter pin loss. Headed shank formed of carbon steel. Retainer wire formed of MB spring wire. Zinc plated.Self-locking ring snaps down to hold them securely in place. Easy grip ring for quick removal. Pin is carbon steel, heat-treated to Rockwell RA 50-60. Ring is hot drawn spring steel with hardness of RC 47-48. Zinc plated.

Solid non-threaded press fit fastener. Grooved pins differ from other press fit fasteners such as dowel pins, in that the holes do not need to be reamed prior to insertion. Commonly used in place of taper pins, rivets, set screws and keys. When the expanded portion of the pin is compressed into a hole a few thousands wider than the nominal diameter of the pin, radial forces lock the pin securely into the drilled hole. Made of low carbon steel, zinc plated with full length tapered grooves for ease of assembly.

Clevis pins consist of a head, shank and cross drilled hole, and can be secured in place with a cotter pin, R clip or similar retaining fasteners.

Similar to bolts and rivets, clevis pins are used as quick, secure, and cost-effective fasteners; however, they can hold much more load tension of pulling forces when connecting two structural units.

Our assortment of clevis pins is sure to have the right size and type for your application. We carry both metric and standard sizes, as well as a variety of types such as quick release, hollow, and solid.

Materials also play an important role in your choice of clevis pin. Stainless steel pins are corrosion resistant and durable, while titanium pins are lightweight and strong. If you're looking for an economical option, our zinc-plated pins are a great choice. Whichever material you choose, you can be sure that our clevis pins are of the highest quality.

Cotter Pins - Automatic Locking Ring surround the shaft for safety. Best used in light and medium applications, these cotter pins install fast without tools.Locking pins used on shafts or screws to lock nuts in place. Meets or exceeds ASME/ANSI B18.8.1 standards.

Hitch Pins are made from heat treated steel and zinc plated. All pins are drilled and come with a zinc plated hitch pin.Hitch pins are a grade 5 forged pin made from heat treated high tensile steel, powder coated. Red vinyl coated head and handle.Hitch Pins - Bent Pin are made from heat treated steel and zinc plated. There are bent 15 degree. All pins are drilled and come with a zinc plated hitch pin.

Locating pins are used for controlled, tight tolerances to increase accuracy in positioning workpieces on fixtures. Typically, two pins are needed to properly align the workpiece. We offer round pins that provide precise location in all directions, as well as relieved or diamond pins that provide clearance with less contact to prevent binding during loading and unloading. These can be used in many different applications including clamping tables, fixture plates, v-blocks and other common shop tools.

The most common types of fixture locating pins are: threaded locating pins, diamond locating pins, with bullet nose and pin liners.

Easy in and out hydraulic cylinder pin with groove and hole at each end. Hitch pins included. Made from C1144 steel.

Quick Release Pins are used in applications where a positive stop is desired. The shoulder prevents the pin from being inserted all the way to the handle. Pins will not release until the button is pushed, causing the balls at the end of the pin to retract for insertion and removal of the pin.

Magnetic Quick Release Pins are used in applications where a positive stop is desired. The locking pins with magnetic axial lock are used for fast and easy fixating and joining of parts and workpieces. Magnets integrated into the grip ensure axial positioning and hold the locking pin in the inserted position. Smooth surfaces and a perpendicular insertion bore have a positive effect on the retaining forces.

These pull dowels have a tapped hole which permits easy removal. The style with flat has a ground flat on one side of the pin for easy removal.These pull dowels have a tapped hole which permits easy removal. Heat treated to RC58-62 min.
