5/16-18 x 7/8 Full Dog Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw is chosen for assemblies that need a set screw to locate against a prepared feature instead of a flat bearing face. The extended cylindrical point is used as a locating element, so the mating component must provide the corresponding seat or slot.

Typical applications include register holes, milled slots, and slot-located machine components; it may also fit repair assemblies where an existing hole or slot defines the location where repeatable register is part of the assembly design. For service work, compare the existing screw, print note, and receiving slot before ordering.

For 5/16-18 x 7/8, 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 keeps specialty socket set screw sourcing focused on the actual print callout.
