Small Parts 3710SSO Alloy Steel Set Screw, Black Oxide Finish, Meets ASME B18.3, Hex Socket Drive, Oval Point, 3/8"-16 Thread Size, 5/8" Length, US Made (Pack of 100)

The alloy steel set screw with black oxide finish has a hex socket and oval point, and meets American Society of Mechanical Engineers ASME B18.3 specifications. Alloy steel is often used in applications where strength is the primary consideration. The black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance and lubricity. The hex socket drive has a hexagonal slot that requires an Allen key driver, also known as a hex key or Allen wrench. The oval point has a rounded tip that has minimal contact with the mating surface, enabling frequent adjustment with little surface damage. The oval point is also suitable for use with angled components.Set screws hold objects in place by use of pressure at the point, and are often used in semi-permanent applications and where fine adjustment is needed. Set screws are available with a variety of point styles, which determine how the screw interacts with the object it is placed against. These threaded fasteners typically do not have an external head.
