This USA chart doesn't represent the correct terminology that is found on UK charts. The "set screw" is actually a "Grub Screw" in UK speak, and a UK "Set Screw" is a small "hex bolt". Not to mention the Coach screw/ Lag bolt etc., These are the terms used during my time as an Engineer.

What is a . stover nut ? , where would one be used, just never heard of them and interested. thanks
It's a use once only lock-nut that has a distorted thread to lock it in place. They work well in high or fluctuating temperatures. As an example I use them for bolting rotors to top hats in our race car.

It is a Distorted head locknut. wiki that. very useful in cold temperatures and high vibration areas. The Snow cat I maintain has approx 2300 of them on its tracks. Nearly impossible to remove without removing the stud it is attached to and locking the stud in the vice to undo.

No Cruel Nuts. Theyre the spikey ones you put on Show Harleys for the "Ben Hur" hubcaps look. If you have one on your kick starter and your foot slips, its really cruel.
