10-24 x 1/4 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw is selected for shaft-mounted parts that require a pointed set screw rather than a broad-ended contact.
This point style is useful where a shaft, collar, stop, or fixture detail is expected to accept a clear indentation from the screw tip.
Use this material identity when the bill of material calls for alloy steel; environmental exposure and surface requirements should still be checked against the application.
Typical review areas for 10-24 x 1/4 include fixtures, tooling details, and adjustment screws and fixtures, tooling details, and adjustment screws where focused tip engagement is part of the assembly.
