Midwest Fasteners Plain Finish Steel Socket Cap Screw
The Midwest Fasteners Plain Finish Steel Socket Cap Screw is a machine-screw-style fastener built from steel with a plain finish, designed for assemblies where a socket-drive head lets a hex key seat the screw flush in a counterbored hole. This cap screw family spans numerous thread sizes and lengths, from 10-24 x 1/2" up through 1/2-13 x 1-1/2", giving contractors, fabricators, and maintenance techs one consistent steel, plain-finish fastener to spec for recessed, high-strength connections in machinery, fixtures, and equipment assembly. Every size shares the same steel construction and socket cap head, so fit-up stays reliable whether you need a single size or several from the line, and the recessed head keeps assemblies clean where a protruding hex head is not wanted.
