I've seen these things somewhere - I need a couple of 3/16 pins, 1.5

long, aprox, with larger threads (like 1/4-20) for 1/4 inch or so on one

that
is threaded for a little bit, then narrows down to the root diameter -
these
pins will go into the hole and act like a setscrew on the item at the
other
end of the hole - I've seen these somewhere - what are they called?

(I hope that description makes sense - sort of a shoulder bolt in
reverse -
threads near the head, then a long unthreaded section that is no larger
than
the threads root diameter)

Dog point set screw, although standard ones are more thread, less
point.

the longest "dog point" I could find was only about 1/4 inch - might there
be another name for something where the 'dog point' is over an inch and the
threaded part is 1/4 or 3/8 inch? If I could get daschund point #10 set
screws, that would be perfect
