1/4-20 x 4 1/2 is a low carbon steel, case hardened square head set screw for wrench-driven holding where an external square head is acceptable.

Typical applications include mill and conveyor drives where square-head hardware remains accessible during service. The five-point structure lets the same square-head size serve locating, bearing, and seating requirements. Point selection should reflect the shaft feature, acceptable marking, and expected service adjustment.

Cold Headers keeps the record focused on usable engineering details so buyers can compare the callout against drawings and service notes. Review the selected point, wrench clearance, and mating feature before substitution. Oval points suit grooves or repeated adjustment where a radiused contact is useful.
