Set Screws Cone Point

What are Set Screws Cone Point?

Cone point set screws are headless fasteners with a sharp, tapered tip that bites into the mating surface for maximum holding power and precise location, helping parts lock in place without slip.

Why choose Set Screws Cone Point

• Maximum torsional and axial grip — the point wedges into the surface.
• Precise positioning — easy to return to a repeatable spot.
• Headless profile — flush fit for tight clearances.

Common applications for Set Screws Cone Point

• Locking collars, gears, sprockets, and pulleys on shafts
• Pivot points and linkages that must not slip
• Fixtures, jigs, instruments, and precision mechanisms

Materials and finishes for Set Screws Cone Point

• Alloy steel black oxide for high strength indoors.
• 18-8 / 304 stainless for broad corrosion resistance.
• 316 stainless for marine/coastal exposure.

How to size and specify Set Screws Cone Point

Order by diameter × thread × overall length and match UNC/UNF or metric ISO to the tapped hole. Typical drive is hex-socket.

How Cone Point Set Screws compare to other point styles

• Cone vs cup — cone gives the strongest location; cup marks less.
• Cone vs flat — flat bears on a machined flat and minimizes penetration.
• Cone vs dog / half-dog — dog points index into a hole/slot; cone creates its own seat.

Installation tips for Set Screws Cone Point

• Spot a light dimple to guide the point and improve repeatability.
• Use threadlocker or a jam screw where vibration exists.
