Bolt Base 2mm A2 Stainless Steel Grub Screws Hex Socket Set Screw Cup Point DIN 916 M2 X 4-10

Product Information

Grub screws can often prove especially useful in situations where a standard nut and bolt would impede the optimal functioning of an object or component(s), or else would not achieve the clean aesthetic the installer is aiming for on the visible/external faces of an item. Although slotted varieties are sold for use with standard flat-head screwdrivers, they’re less common than hex, Torx or Allen internal-wrenching drives, because slotted varieties are inherently less robust and more easily deformed during insertion under high torque forces. We have had no complaints when we have supplied this but we know that for at least one handle, while invisible to naked eye, if you ran your finger underneath where grub screw is fitted, you might ‘feel’ a minute ridge.

Because they’re fully threaded and designed to be driven into an existing tapped hole or socket - rather than driven into the surface, creating a new hole - they’re commonly considered a type of bolt, albeit with a few key differences. Another common usage scenario involving grub screws or set screws is when attaching a pulley hub to a shaft - in this case, the end-point of the set screw pushes firmly against the shaft, possibly with some degree of elastic or plastic deformation of the part(s) at the point of contact, to provide increased grip. As well as in architectural ironmongery, grub screws are often used in a wide range of industries and sectors to secure all manner of collets, gears and handles to their respective mounting brackets or hardware. All of the pipe clamps and cable clamps brackets are handmade by myself so please allow a little longer for dispatch.

Each screw size is described using two numbers – the ‘M’ number and a number indicating the length of the shank, in mm, so M2 screw dimensions of M2 x8, are 8mm long, measured under the screw head.

This is especially the case if the drive recess has been damaged during insertion, or where corrosion has occurred around the threads.The most common feature between all variants is that they all are headless, fully threaded screws that feature a hexagonal drive.

Instead, they’re usually threaded right to the top, and are the same diameter all the way along their length, meaning that the grub screw can be fully driven into its hole to sit flush with (or even countersunk into, depending on the application) the workpiece. Grub screws have different drive types, including a straight slot for a standard flat screwdriver, a hex socket, a square socket, an external hex, an external square or a Bristol spline.

Besides aesthetics, another advantage of using grub screws (with no leading or trailing edge exposed at the head end) is that they can often offer better resistance to weathering and corrosion as a result. Screws with this type of drive are usually fastened with the use of an Allen Key or a screwdriver that uses hexagonal insert bits.
