Socket Set Screws, Cup Point, Hex 1.5MM Drive, Stainless Steel A2 (18-8), M3 x .5 x 5MM
Screw Diameter x Thread Pitch: M3-0.50

Metric Knurled Point Socket Set Screws in A2 (18-8) Stainless Steel feature a textured, diamond-pattern serrated tip that provides excellent grip on shafts and mating surfaces while allowing for repositioning without significant material damage. The knurled point combines the benefits of cup point holding power with improved versatility—the serrated texture bites into the workpiece to resist rotation and loosening, but creates less permanent deformation than a hardened cup point edge, making these set screws ideal for applications requiring occasional adjustment or repositioning. The internal hex socket drive allows flush installation below the component surface and provides precise torque control during tightening. 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, medical, outdoor, and washdown environments. The M3 x 0.5mm coarse thread pitch is a standard metric size commonly used in small machinery, electronics enclosures, instruments, and precision assemblies.
