5/16-18 x 1 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. Use the size to match the thread and length, then call out Half Dog, Full Dog, Cone, Oval, or Flat as the required point. Half Dog points register into shallow holes or slots when location matters under load.

Cold Headers supports square-head set screw sourcing with a catalog organized around exact size, standard, and point selection. Review the selected point, wrench clearance, and mating feature before substitution. For cup point square heads, use the separate Cup Point Square Head Set Screws category rather than this five-point family.
