This 1/4-28 x 1 1/4 18-8 stainless socket set screw is a size-specific listing for Cone, Flat, Oval, and 1/2 Dog point selections in mechanical assemblies. 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 control handles, adjustment screws, and replacement assemblies. Because 18-8 stainless is not heat treated, holding torque is below alloy steel; compare alloy socket set screws when maximum seating torque governs the application.
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. For production, repair, and distributor sourcing, Cold Headers can help confirm the exact size and point-style family before quoting.
