3/8-24 x 1/4 Half Dog Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw is made for fixture, shaft, and collar locations that call for a flat-ended dog-style pilot.
The shortened pilot can help align or retain parts while reducing projection beyond the receiving hole, slot, or keyway.
This family is suited to industrial mechanical assemblies where a steel half dog point screw is part of the locating method.
Typical review areas for 3/8-24 x 1/4 include conveyor hardware, packaging machinery, and production equipment and shaft collars, gear hubs, and pulley positioning where the blunt pilot is part of the assembly fit.
Thread arithmetic for 3/8-24: 24 TPI in the UNF series; compare the 1/4 in. length with tapped depth and pilot reach. Verify drive access and component clearance so the screw can be seated without external wrench space. Cold Headers works with socket fastener requirements where pilot shape affects fit and ordering accuracy.
