Full Dog Set Screws Metric Standard Thread Dog Point Self Locking Screw

Full dog set screws are used for the permanent location of one part to another.  The point is often set into a drilled hole.  May sometimes take the place of a dowel pin. Ever Hardware provides custom-made fasteners and customizable packaging.

A set screw is a type of screw generally used to secure an object within or against another object, normally not using a nut (see bolts compared with screws). The most common examples are securing a pulley or gear to a shaft. Set screws are usually headless (also called blind), meaning that the screw is fully threaded and has no head projecting past the major diameter of the screw thread. If a set screw has a head, the thread will extend all the way to the head (whereas a bolt might have an unthreaded shank between the head and thread). A blind set screw (known in the UK as a grub screw, quite possibly from its figurative resemblance to a soil-dwelling grub) is almost always driven with an internal-wrenching drive, such as a hex socket (Allen), star (Torx), square socket (Robertson), or slot.

Galvanization, or galvanisation, (or galvanizing as it is most commonly called in that industry), is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron, to prevent full dog set screws rusting. The most common method is hot-dip galvanizing, in which parts are submerged in a bath of molten zinc.
