5-40 x 1/2 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Set Screw is an internal-hex headless fastener supplied in Cone, Flat, Oval, and 1/2 Dog point styles. Cone point versions use a cone tip that can indent the mating shaft for strong axial holding in fixed settings, especially when a prepared dimple is part of the design.
Common application reviews include food and beverage equipment, washdown machinery, and packaging lines. Select the point by mating surface: cone point for a prepared dimple or stronger bite, flat point for a machined flat, oval point for curved contact, and 1/2 dog point for a drilled hole or slot.
18-8 stainless steel is an 18% chromium and 8% nickel austenitic stainless material referenced to ASTM F880, used for general atmosphere, moisture exposure, and clean appearance. When standard catalog searches are too broad, Cold Headers supports precise socket set screw sourcing by size and point-style requirement.
