8-32 x 5/16 Cup Point Slotted Headless Set Screw fits applications where a screwdriver-driven cup point set screw is preferred over socket-key installation. The slot can be driven with common flat-blade tools, avoiding the need to identify and carry a separate key size. The hollow-rim point can bite into the mating surface, so selection should consider whether a witness mark is acceptable.
The format suits knurled knobs, hand wheels, shaft collars, and access points where a screwdriver is easier than a key when a slotted headless set screw is already shown on the drawing or parts list. Square Head Set Screws remain a wrench-driven alternative in this catalog section.
Cold Headers supports exact-size sourcing when a drawing or parts list calls for slotted headless set screw hardware. Check the diameter, length, drive access, mating material, and whether cup-point marking is acceptable before ordering.
