Inch Sizes Cone Point 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Set Screws

Inch sizes cone point socket set screws made from 18-8 stainless steel are high-precision fasteners engineered for strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability. These screws feature a sharp, conical point designed to dig into the mating material, delivering exceptional holding power—perfect for applications that demand firm, permanent placement of parts.

The cone point design provides a focused contact area that ensures a strong bite into softer materials like aluminum, brass, or mild steel. This makes them ideal for securing shafts, collars, gears, knobs, and rotating components where exact alignment and resistance to movement are critical. These set screws are commonly used in marine equipment, food processing machinery, instrumentation, and mechanical assemblies due to their ability to handle harsh environments without corroding.

Crafted from 18-8 stainless steel, a non-magnetic and corrosion-resistant alloy, these fasteners are especially suited for outdoor, humid, or chemical-exposed environments. They also maintain their strength at a wide range of temperatures, ensuring dependable performance in demanding conditions.
