1/4-20 x 7/8 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw provides an exact-size catalog entry for alloy steel cone point retention work.
The pointed end can also serve as a pivot or hanger point where the design intentionally uses focused contact instead of a broad bearing surface.
Alloy steel construction is appropriate where the product specification calls for this family and the cone point geometry matches the intended contact condition.
Typical review areas for 1/4-20 x 7/8 include pivot points, hanger points, and drilled contact locations and machine controls, brackets, and locating points where focused tip engagement is part of the assembly.
The 1/4-20 thread is UNC with 20 TPI, and the 7/8 in. length should be compared with tapped depth and cone-point reach. Review access for the internal hex drive and the surface condition at the point contact area. Cold Headers has supplied specialty socket fasteners since 1962 and supports unusual set screw configurations.
