Common Uses for M4 Set Screws

- Small machinery and mechanical assemblies

- Equipment repairs and replacement fixings
- Light fabrication and workshop projects
DIN 933 Specifications
M4 set screws have a nominal thread diameter of 4 mm and a standard coarse thread pitch of 0.7 mm.
DIN 933, now superseded by ISO 4017, covers fully threaded hexagon head screws. Unlike part-threaded hex bolts, the thread extends along the shank to the underside of the head, allowing the fastener to clamp thinner components without relying on an unthreaded section.
For a complete fixing, pair your M4 set screws with compatible M4 stainless steel nuts and washers.
