Title: Grub screw vs. set screw with pointed tip
Post by: MillCreek on November 14, 2022, 05:06:49 PM

If I wanted to find a grub screw/set screw with a pointed tip, what would that be called?  I am looking at the Amazon assortment kits and they are all flat on both ends.  So this makes me think the pointed tip have a particular name.  Does anyone know what they are called?

A cone point!  And what a very interesting site from Perd, I had no idea there were so many types of set screws.

When I read the OP, I thought to myself "I wonder if I'll be the first to post a McMaster link"  :laugh:
