8-36 x 3/8 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw is used in industrial hardware where point shape, material, thread, and length all need to match the request.
This point style is useful where a shaft, collar, stop, or fixture detail is expected to accept a clear indentation from the screw tip.
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 8-36 x 3/8 include industrial assemblies that call for focused tip engagement and industrial assemblies that call for focused tip engagement where focused tip engagement is part of the assembly.
The 8-36 thread is UNF with 36 TPI, and the 3/8 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 supports maintenance, distributor, and production requests for difficult set screw configurations.
