3/8-16 x 2 1/2 is built for legacy machinery and industrial assemblies that still specify a square head set screw instead of a headless socket screw.

Typical applications include large adjustment stops, travel-limit hardware, and machine fixtures. The product record carries the size; the requested point is selected from the Half Dog, Full Dog, Cone, Oval, and Flat menu. Flat points bear against a machined flat without intentional penetration into the mating surface.

Cold Headers keeps the record focused on usable engineering details so buyers can compare the callout against drawings and service notes. The family runs UNC coarse thread throughout, the traditional square-head series. Full Dog points register into mating holes or slots when the design calls for deeper engagement.
