FAQ

What does a cup point set screw do?
The cupped end digs into the shaft as it is tightened, holding a collar, pulley, gear or knob in place. Use a flat on the shaft for the best hold.

How do I stop stainless threads from galling?
Stainless threads can seize (gall) when tightened fast or under heavy load. Put anti-seize on the threads, tighten slowly at low speed, keep the threads clean and don't overtighten.

What do USS coarse and SAE fine thread mean?
USS (UNC) coarse thread has fewer threads per inch and is the general purpose standard; it goes together fast and is less likely to cross thread. SAE (UNF) fine thread has more threads per inch for finer adjustment and better hold under vibration. The nut must match the thread.
