    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.
    Military Specification—These screws are manufactured and tested to strict U.S. military standards for material and construction.

    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.
    Cadmium-Plated Alloy Steel—The plating reduces friction between the screw and your mounting surface to prevent sticking when tightening and loosening. It also creates a barrier against rust.
    Military Specification—These screws are manufactured and tested to strict U.S. military standards for material and construction.

    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.
    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.

    A brass tip protects surfaces from scratches and gouges when fastening in corrosive environments. Unlike other metal-tipped screws, brass is soft enough that it won't damage hard plastic or soft metal, such as aluminum. When even brass is too hard for your application, choose a nylon tip instead. Made of stainless steel, these screws won't rust, but they're not as strong as alloy steel.
