Alloy Steel Set Screw, Plain Finish, Hex Socket Drive, Flat Point, Meets ASME B18.3/ASTM F912, 3/4" Length, 5/16"-18 Threads (Pack of 100)

The alloy steel set screw with plain finish has a hex socket and flat point, and meets American Society of Mechanical Engineers ASME B18.3 and American Society for Testing and Materials ASTM F912 specifications. Alloy steel is often used in applications where strength is the primary consideration. The hex socket drive has a hexagonal slot that requires an Allen key driver, also known as a hex key or Allen wrench. The flat point presses against (instead of into) the mating surface to create a hold with minimal surface damage, enabling frequent adjustment and use in semi-permanent applicationsSet screws hold objects in place by use of pressure at the point, and are often used in semi-permanent applications and where fine adjustment is needed. Set screws are available with a variety of point styles, which determine how the screw interacts with the object it is placed against. These threaded fasteners typically do not have an external head.
