5/16-24 x 2 Half Dog Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw gives a size-specific headless fastener for assemblies that use a shortened dog point as the locating feature.

Because the tip is blunt and cylindrical, it can locate in a prepared hole or keyway without the surface penetration associated with cone or cup styles.

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 5/16-24 x 2 include couplings, handles, collars, and shaft-mounted accessories and maintenance bins, equipment rebuilds, and point-style controlled sourcing where the blunt pilot is part of the assembly fit.

Thread arithmetic for 5/16-24: 24 TPI in the UNF series; compare the 2 in. length with tapped depth and pilot reach. Match the thread designation and length together because each affects where the cylindrical tip lands. Cold Headers assists with exact-size sourcing when the shortened pilot is part of the purchase requirement.
