Grub screws can be found in a range of sizes, from small screws with a diameter of just a few millimeters to large screws with a diameter of several inches. The length of a grub screw can also vary widely, from just a few millimeters to several inches long. Adjustable - Grub screws can be adjusted or removed easily without damaging the threaded hole or the shaft. This makes them a good choice for applications where adjustments may need to be made over time, such as in machinery or equipment that experiences regular wear and tear. There are several types of grub screws available, each designed for specific applications. Here are some of the most common types of grub screws:
