4-way mean you prevent movement at 2 axis (+X, -X, +Y and -Y) on the plane. Generally you have cylindrical pin on the fixture and circular hole at workpiece part.
2-way mean you prevent movement only at 1 axis on the plane. And generally you have cylindrical pin on the fixture and slot hole at workpiece part.
We use generally one 4-way and one 2-way at the same time. We need freedom of movement. Because the distance between pins at the fixture or the holes at the workpiece might not fully accurate.
if the 2-way pin means only movement control by the only one axis, either 'X' or ' Y' normal to the plane.
Then 4-way pin means can't control by any axis by the normal plane.
