5/8-11 x 1 1/2 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw is made for set-screw locations where the conical point is intended to enter the mating surface rather than rest on top of it.
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.
Use this material identity when the bill of material calls for alloy steel; environmental exposure and surface requirements should still be checked against the application.
Typical review areas for 5/8-11 x 1 1/2 include conveyor equipment, packaging machinery, and production hardware and shaft collars, stops, and hub-mounted components where focused tip engagement is part of the assembly.
The 5/8-11 thread is UNC with 11 TPI, and the 1 1/2 in. length should be compared with tapped depth and cone-point reach. If a dimple or spotted hole is used, confirm that the screw reaches it without bottoming out in the tapped bore. Cold Headers works with socket fastener requirements where item-level details affect fit and ordering accuracy.
