1-8 x 1 is a low carbon steel, case hardened square head set screw for wrench-driven holding where an external square head is acceptable.
Typical applications include mill and conveyor drives where square-head hardware remains accessible during service. The five-point structure lets the same square-head size serve locating, bearing, and seating requirements. Flat points bear against a machined flat without intentional penetration into the mating surface.
Since 1962, Cold Headers has helped industrial buyers identify specialty set screws by thread, length, head style, and point requirement. The family runs UNC coarse thread throughout, the traditional square-head series. Full Dog points register into mating holes or slots when the design calls for deeper engagement.
