    Easy-Adjust Steel Ball-Tip Set Screws

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Set Screws. Easy-Adjust Steel Ball-Tip Set Screws.
    Keep pressure consistent on workpieces that aren't fully flat or parallel. A rolling ball on the tip of these screws maintains contact and swivels 360° to make small adjustments without loosening. Made of alloy steel, they are strong enough to hold components without wearing down.
    Black-Oxide Alloy Steel—These screws have a dark matte finish that offers minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.

    Precision-Adjust Stainless Steel Ball-Tip Set Screws

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Set Screws. Precision-Adjust Stainless Steel Ball-Tip Set Screws.
    These set screws make the finest adjustments of any we sell. With ultra-fine threads, these screws are found on measuring devices and photonic equipment, where minute adjustments and tight tolerances are critical. They also fine-tune sensors on automated equipment and ensure repeatable positioning on jigs and fixtures. Generally used in dry, controlled environments, the alloy steel tip can oxidize in wet or outdoor environments.

    With a low-profile tip, these screws fit in compact assemblies, shallow mounting holes, and precision equipment where space is limited. The tip pivots to conform to your workpiece's surface without damaging it. Made of alloy steel, they're strong enough to hold components without wearing down.
    Black-Oxide Alloy Steel—These screws have a dark matte finish that offers minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.

    Easy-Adjust Stainless Steel Ball-Tip Set Screws

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Set Screws. Easy-Adjust Stainless Steel Ball-Tip Set Screws.
    The most corrosion-resistant ball-tip set screws we offer. Made of stainless steel, they won't rust, but they're not as strong as alloy steel. These screws are used to keep pressure consistent on workpieces that aren't fully flat or parallel. A rolling ball on the tip maintains contact and swivels 360° to make small adjustments without loosening the screw.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these screws won't rust. However, they don't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.

    Self-Aligning Steel Removable-Swivel-Tip Set Screws

    Boost gripping power without increasing thread size. Unlike standard self-aligning screws, the tip diameter on these screws is 1/16" wider than the shaft, giving you more surface contact. Since their tip is removable, they still fit into the same size hole during installation. Made of steel, they're best for dry environments where they won't rust.
    Black-Oxide Steel—These screws have a dark matte finish that offers minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.
    Extra-Large Steel Tips—Offer more gripping strength than normal-sized tips.
    Acetal Tips—Swap out the tip for a nonmarring one to protect delicate surfaces.

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Set Screws. Tight-Clearance Self-Aligning Stainless Steel Swivel-Tip Set Screws.
    Our most corrosion-resistant swivel-tip set screws. Made of stainless steel, they won't rust, but they're not as strong as alloy steel. With a low-profile tip, these screws fit in compact assemblies, shallow mounting holes, and precision equipment where space is limited. The tip pivots to conform to your workpiece's surface without damaging it.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these screws won't rust. However, they don't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
