5/8-18 x 1 3/4 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw is a pointed socket set screw for mechanical assemblies that need focused contact at the screw tip.
This point style is useful where a shaft, collar, stop, or fixture detail is expected to accept a clear indentation from the screw tip.
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 5/8-18 x 1 3/4 include compact machinery where external screw heads would interfere and compact machinery where external screw heads would interfere where focused tip engagement is part of the assembly.
The 5/8-18 thread is UNF with 18 TPI, and the 1 3/4 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 helps buyers keep small point-geometry differences visible during sourcing.
