    Stainless Steel Cup-Tip Set Screws

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Set Screws. Stainless Steel Cup-Tip Set Screws.
    These corrosion-resistant cup-tip screws grip parts tightly. Made of stainless steel, they won't rust, but they're not as strong as alloy steel. The tip has thin edges that dig into surfaces for a secure hold. They often lock gears, pulleys, and other transmission components onto shafts.
    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.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Superior to 18-8 stainless steel, these screws won't degrade when exposed to harsh weather, salt water, and most chemicals.

    Stainless Steel Flat-Tip Set Screws

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Set Screws. Stainless Steel Flat-Tip Set Screws.
    These corrosion-resistant screws spread out holding power and protect surfaces from damage. Made of stainless steel, they won't rust, but they're not as strong as alloy steel. Unlike cup and cone tips, the flat tip distributes pressure evenly, reducing marring but not holding as tightly. They're a good choice for repositioning parts frequently on jigs, fixtures, and other applications where the tip presses against a flat surface.
    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.

    Steel Cup-Tip Set Screws

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Set Screws. Steel Cup-Tip Set Screws.
    Made of alloy steel, these screws are strong enough to hold components without wearing down. The tip has thin edges that dig into surfaces for a secure hold. They often lock gears, pulleys, and other transmission components onto shafts.
    Black-Oxide Alloy Steel—These screws have a dark matte finish that offers minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.
