Brass Tip Set Screws

A brass tip set screw is a type of set screw designed for specific fastening applications where a non-marring or soft point of contact is needed. These screws feature a brass tip as opposed to the traditional pointed or flat tips found on other set screws. The brass tip is softer than metal and is ideal for tasks requiring a gentle and non-damaging point of contact. Key characteristics of brass tip set screws include: Brass Tip: The defining feature is the tip made of brass, which is a relatively soft material compared to metal. This soft tip ensures a non-marring point of contact when the screw is tightened against a surface. Internal Threads: Brass tip set screws are typically internally threaded and are used with threaded holes or shafts. Materials: The body of the screw is typically made of metal, such as steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel, while the tip is made of brass. Brass tip set screws find applications in situations where a gentle and non-damaging point of contact is essential. They are often used to secure delicate or easily damaged components, align parts without surface damage, or provide a soft touch in various fastening tasks. Industries such as electronics, instrumentation, and woodworking make use of these screws to prevent surface damage while ensuring secure connections.
