3-48 x 5/32 18-8 Stainless Steel Cup Point Socket Set Screw is commonly specified where a component must be secured from within a tapped hole rather than with an external screw head.

Applications often include tooling, fixtures, and adjustment assemblies, where compact internal-hex access is useful during setup. The internal hex recess gives the installer controlled drive engagement while keeping the fastener profile inside the tapped component.

The verified dimensions below help engineering and purchasing teams compare the screw to the application before ordering. Confirm that point contact, material, and service conditions fit the application. Final material choice should reflect load, environment, mating material, and maintenance needs. Buyers should review the shaft or component surface condition, available drive access, environmental exposure, and required holding action before selecting this item. Cold Headers is a useful source when the part number, thread, point style, stainless material, or length is difficult to locate through standard catalog channels.
