Inicialmente usei 2Tarugo" mas depois, na net, verifiquei que também pode ser um termo brasileiro que significa "magnate, animal forte". Obrigada de qualquer forma

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  António Ribeiro: Por definição, tarugos são peças de madeira e a pergunta refere "thick iron...".
5 hrs
  -> por definição???
neutral  José Carlos Ribeiro: Sorry, António, mas tarugos podem ser feitos de outros materiais, além da madeira.
10 hrs
  -> concordo, José Carlos.
neutral  airmailrpl: tarugo, de orig. incerta, prov. pré-romano, talvez ligado ao celta *tarûcon 'cavilha de madeira'; f.hist. 1720 tarûgo, 1789 tarugo
22 hrs
  -> Obrigada pela referência, airmailrpl. Não estou querendo criar polêmica mas, no Brasil, há tarugos de aço, de plástico, de ferro fundido, de bronze, de alumínio... Provavelmente a origem da palavra já foi esquecida!

pinos-guia


Explanation:
Na verdade os dowels são um pouco mais do que pinos, eles servem de guia e suporte. São as vezes chamados de estojos, mas ainda prefiro pinos-guia.
Lamento mas a experiência é de trabalho.
