Metric Socket Set Screws, Dog Point, Hex 4MM Drive, Stainless Steel A2 (18-8), M8 x 1.25 x 12MM
Screw Diameter x Thread Pitch: M8-1.25
|
Metric Dog Point Socket Set Screws in A2 (18-8) Stainless Steel feature a full-diameter cylindrical tip designed to extend into a mating hole, slot, or keyway in the shaft or component being secured. Unlike cup or cone point set screws that grip through surface deformation, dog point set screws provide positive mechanical engagement, the cylindrical point physically interlocks with the mating feature, preventing rotation and axial movement even under heavy loads or repeated cycling. This makes dog point set screws ideal for precise alignment applications, permanent shaft positioning, and assemblies where the set screw must locate into a pre-drilled hole or machined slot. The internal hex (Allen) socket drive allows flush installation below the surface and enables high torque application without cam-out. Manufactured from A2 (18-8) stainless steel, the most widely used stainless grade for fasteners, these set screws offer excellent corrosion resistance for food processing, marine, outdoor, chemical exposure, and washdown environments. The M8 x 1.25mm coarse thread pitch is a robust metric size commonly used in heavy-duty machinery, agricultural equipment, automotive assemblies, industrial shafting, and applications requiring higher load capacity with precise mechanical engagement.
