1/4-28 x 5/16 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw helps separate cone point requirements from flat, cup, dog, or other set screw point styles.
Cone point geometry concentrates contact at the tip, so it is often seated into a pre-spotted or drilled dimple to control location and reduce wandering during service.
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 1/4-28 x 5/16 include couplings, handles, collars, and retained accessories and equipment rebuilds, service records, and exact-size substitutions where focused tip engagement is part of the assembly.
The 1/4-28 thread is UNF with 28 TPI, and the 5/16 in. length should be compared with tapped depth and cone-point reach. For replacement work, keep the cone point callout intact before comparing this item to other set screw families. Cold Headers assists with exact-size sourcing when cone point details matter to the final order.
