3/8-16 x 5/16 Full Dog Point 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Set Screw uses a cylindrical unthreaded pilot tip to locate into a drilled hole, slot, or groove. The pilot end locates the part rather than biting or indenting the mating surface.

Common application reviews include travel stops and limit stops on slides and lead screws. The full dog point does not rely on biting action; it seats into the prepared mating feature and helps hold position through mechanical location.

18-8 stainless steel is an 18% chromium and 8% nickel austenitic stainless material referenced to ASTM F880 for general plant environments, moisture exposure, and clean appearance. Cold Headers has supplied specialty socket fasteners since 1962 and supports exact-size sourcing for hard-to-find socket products.
