5/16-24 x 3/8 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 lead screw stops, sliding mechanisms, and service-adjustable equipment. For chloride exposure beyond general-service 18-8 use, compare the 316 stainless line before approving the material for the environment.

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. When a standard catalog search is too broad, Cold Headers supports exact-size sourcing for specialty socket set screws.
