Overview

• Alloy steel is the strongest of all steel types
• It has high tensile strength and offers excellent resistance to wear, fatigue and galling
• Cup points have a cup-shaped indentation at the end of the set screw s tapered point
• The internal cup grips surfaces, resists deformation and reduces stress
• Cup points work well with soft materials that cannot take high torque
• Square drive types have square recesses and are driven with Crescent wrenches, open-ended wrenches and certain sockets
• They are commonly used in woodworking in limited-clearance applications or when added torque is needed.
