Need hardware: cylinder w/ threaded cross-hole

Need hardware: cylinder w/ threaded cross-hole

(OP)
I am looking for a bit of hardware that I hope is already produced somewhere.  I need a short pin that has a threaded cross hole.  Threaded cross hole preferred but I can make a non-threaded one work.  I recall seeing some of these in furniture kits.

So far no luck on any internet searches.  Anyone know the name of a manufacturer or distributor?

RE: Need hardware: cylinder w/ threaded cross-hole

(OP)
Thanks.  Exactly.  Now that I have a term for it ("cross dowel") I am finding plenty of results.  Still looking for bulk source.

RE: Need hardware: cylinder w/ threaded cross-hole

Aluminum framing systems such as Parker ParFrame use a variety of these. They'd be more likely to supply in bulk.

Eng-tips didn't catch the whole link, you'll need to cut and paste.

Thanks anyways.  I found plenty of fixture-quality cam levers.  I'm looking fr something less heavy-duty and cheaper.
