Inch Socket Set Screws: Standard SAE Precision Point Styles
Click image to enlarge
Socket set screws have a wide range of applications across different industries, valued for their simplicity, effectiveness, and precise connections. In mechanical applications, these fully threaded fasteners are utilized to prevent rotational changes in pulleys or gears and maintain proper alignment. They are also heavily utilized in furniture and DIY projects for adjusting or leveling components that require a flush finish with limited working space. Since these headless screws are fully installed into the material using a hex key, no additional components like lock washers are required.
At Fasteners Etc., Inc., our inch socket set screws are available in various materials, including alloy steel and stainless steel (18-8 and 316). We offer common finishes like black oxide and zinc to match your project's environment. Each socket set screw is designed to be installed into a pre-drilled hole until it is flush or just below the surface, using the appropriate torque to ensure fully engaged threading without stripping. Consider your thread size and whether you need a permanent cup point set screw or a temporary flat point to ensure the best fit for your socket products needs.

Common Finishes & Material Options for Inch Set Screws
- Black Oxide: Standard coating for socket products, offering a minimally protective layer on the bare steel. Beneficial for uniform color and reduced glare from the matte black appearance.
- Zinc/Zinc Yellow/Mechanical Zinc: Offers a moderate corrosion resistance to the screw, enhancing the lifespan while not compromising the strength.
- Stainless-steel: Superior corrosion resistance with high durability, both 18-8 and 316 options available.
