When a drawing or maintenance bill calls for a cup point set screw, 1-64 x 3/8 Alloy Steel Cup Point Socket Set Screw identifies the required Alloy Steel thread and length clearly for purchasing.
It is commonly used in industrial repairs, pulley hubs, and shaft-mounted components, where drive access is available through the threaded part. The internal hex drive allows socket-wrench access from the top of the threaded hole, which is useful when the surrounding assembly leaves little room for external wrenching.
Review the 1-64 thread, 3/8 in. length, hex socket size, and cup point diameter against the mating part before specifying the item. Always confirm that the cup point contact is acceptable for the mating component and service conditions. The recessed end form is often chosen where a witness mark or indentation on the mating surface is acceptable for the holding method. Cold Headers has supplied specialty socket fasteners since 1962 and helps buyers identify difficult set screw configurations.
