| Definition: | Set screws are a type of blind screw, designed to hold collars, pulleys, or gears on shafts. If you used a hex bolt, you'd most likely find that the assembly failed to work efficiently and smoothly due to resistance from the bolt's head. |
| Description: | Set screws are different than traditional screws. As previously mentioned, they don't have a head or tip. The head is a common part of a traditional screw. It may feature a recess that supports a flat-head or Phillips head bit, or it may feature a hexagonal shape that supports a wrench.

If you used a hex bolt, you'd most likely find that the assembly failed to work efficiently and smoothly due to resistance from the bolt's head. Set screws are widely used in all manner of engineering, product design and repair applications, often to keep a potentially moving part locked in place. This could involve fixing a component against a baseplate, for example, in various sorts of panel arrays and mechanical assemblies. |
| Others: | A set screw is often headless and threaded along its entire length, so that it will sit entirely inside that hole; in which case it may be called a grub screw or blind screw. |
