Selected for shaft-mounted and adjustment applications, 8-32 x 5/16 18-8 Stainless Steel Cup Point Socket Set Screw uses a cup point end form to concentrate contact at the screw tip.

Typical use cases include couplings, knobs, and handles, especially where the screw must sit inside a tapped part. The internal hex drive keeps installation access compact while the headless body remains contained within the mating part.

For purchasing and replacement work, confirm the 8-32 thread, 5/16 in. length, socket size, and cup point diameter match the drawing or installed part. Confirm that point contact, material, and service conditions fit the application. Use it where the assembly calls for a general-purpose stainless set screw rather than carbon or specialty material. The point geometry gives the installer a defined end form for localized holding contact rather than a general-purpose threaded plug. Cold Headers works with distributors, maintenance teams, and production buyers that need clear size identification for specialty socket products.
