Description
The Cone Point Set Screw with a slotted drive is a specialized fastening solution designed for permanent or semi-permanent location of components on shafts. Manufactured from premium 304 stainless steel, these fasteners are engineered to provide a high-friction "bite" into the mating material.
Unlike flat or cup points, the sharp, conical tip of this set screw is designed to penetrate into a small recess or "dimple" in the shaft, ensuring absolute precision in alignment and extreme resistance to axial or radial movement. The headless, slotted design allows for a completely flush installation using a standard flat-head screwdriver, making it ideal for compact mechanical assemblies where space is at a premium and corrosion resistance is a necessity.
Features & Benefits
- Exceptional 304 Stainless Steel Durability: This stainless steel screw offers superior protection against rust and oxidation. It is perfectly suited for long-term use in humid industrial settings or outdoor applications where standard steel fasteners would fail.
- Maximum Penetration & Locking: The sharp Cone Point Set Screw design is intended to "set" into the mating surface. This creates a high-strength mechanical bond that prevents components from shifting, even under significant vibration or load.
- Streamlined Headless Profile: The absence of a screw head allows the fastener to be driven entirely below the surface of the hole. This ensures a clean, snag-free finish and allows for the close nesting of moving parts in tight machinery.
- Simplified Slotted Drive: The traditional slotted (flat-head) drive ensures that the screw can be adjusted or installed with common hand tools, eliminating the need for specialized hex keys in field maintenance scenarios.

FAQ:
Q1: What is the advantage of a cone point set screw?
A: The cone point penetrates the mating surface, providing precise positioning and maximum holding power, especially in applications requiring secure locking.
Q2: When should I choose a Cone Point over a Cup Point?
A: A Cone Point Set Screw is the best choice when you need the highest level of holding power and have the ability to provide a pilot hole or dimple for the point to seat into. While a cup point is better for general use on hard shafts, the cone point offers superior "locking" for permanent positions.
Q3: Do I need to drill a hole for the cone tip?
A: For the best results and the most secure lock, a small conical indentation (a "dimple") should be drilled into the shaft. This allows the cone point to sit deeply, preventing any possibility of the component sliding along the shaft.
Q4: How is a slotted head set screw installed?
A: It can be easily installed or adjusted using a standard flat-blade screwdriver.
Q5: Is this set screw suitable for vibration-prone applications?
A: Yes. The cone point design and precise threading help maintain a secure hold under vibration and mechanical stress.
