8-32 x 1 1/4 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Set Screw is intended for headless fastening where drive access is through the socket and point style determines the seating action. Oval point versions use a radiused tip that contacts at a tangent, which can suit curved seating surfaces, splines, grooves, and repeat positioning work.
Common application reviews include instrument housings, lab fixtures, and moisture-exposed equipment. A flat point can protect a hardened or finished seating surface better than a cone point, while an oval point can help where the seating surface is rounded or angled.
18-8 stainless steel is an 18% chromium and 8% nickel austenitic stainless material referenced to ASTM F880, used for general atmosphere, moisture exposure, and clean appearance. Cold Headers has supplied specialty socket fasteners since 1962 and supports exact-size sourcing for hard-to-find socket products.
