1/2-13 x 2 1/4 is intended for mechanical fastening positions where the square head remains exposed and a selected point style contacts the mating part.
Typical applications include gear and sprocket locking where a selected point bears on a prepared shaft feature. The five-point structure lets the same square-head size serve locating, bearing, and seating requirements. Half Dog points register into shallow holes or slots when location matters under load.
Cold Headers keeps this legacy set screw family practical for maintenance, repair, and production users who still need the square-head form. Review the selected point, wrench clearance, and mating feature before substitution. Cup Point Slotted Headless Set Screws are the related headless option when flush-fitting screwdriver access is preferred.
