Caution: The use of short length set screws listed in this table can result in failure of the socket, key, or mating threads during tightening because key engagement and thread length are less than optimum. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that screws of lengths equal to or greater than the lengths specified in Table to be used wherever possible.

These sizes are impractical to manufacture because of point configuration and short length.
