    Domed Head

    Use these buttons to support and position workpieces and fixtures from the bottom or side. Threading makes these buttons easier to replace than press-fit, so they are a good choice for high-wear applications. They’re also known as rest buttons.
    Hardened Heat Treatment—Hardened steel buttons are stronger and resist wear better than steel buttons. They are precision ground, which helps them maintain their shape and size, even with repeated use. This makes them a good choice for use in modular fixtures where repeatability and exact positioning are important.
    Domed Head—Buttons with a domed head support rounded or irregularly shaped workpieces with minimal contact.
    Hex—Their hex shape lets you screw them into a threaded hole with a wrench or socket.

    Fine Serrations

    Extra-Fine Serrations—Extra-fine serrations are closer together than fine serrations for less penetration and a lighter hold on the workpiece.
    Fine Serrations—Fine serrations penetrate the workpiece for aggressive holding.
    Fine Thread—Fine threads are closely spaced for more precise adjustments than coarse threads. They also resist loosening from vibration better than coarse threads.

    Solid-Surface Grippers

    Clamp uneven or odd-shaped workpieces onto these grippers to hold them securely in place. Rather than a through hole, these grippers have a solid surface that grips your workpiece evenly and shields the mounting hole from debris. However, they can be harder to line up than grippers with a through hole. They mount from the bottom with a socket head cap screw.
