5/16-18 x 2 Full Dog Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw supports shaft, collar, and linkage layouts that need a longer cylindrical locating point. The extended cylindrical point is used as a locating element, so the mating component must provide the corresponding seat or slot.
Typical applications include control handles, removable knobs, and position-setting hardware; it may also fit machine controls, pivot hardware, and stop blocks where repeatable register is part of the assembly design. The dog point should be matched to the receiving feature rather than treated as a generic set screw end.
For 5/16-18 x 2, review the listed thread and length first because those catalog values control the exact SKU. The reference values for this nominal size list a ~5/32 in. dog point length. Cold Headers helps industrial buyers identify the correct socket set screw by exact size and point geometry.
