2-56 x 3/4 Flat Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw is specified when the drawing calls for alloy steel material and flat point contact geometry.
For 2-56 x 3/4, review the flat point around handles, knobs, collars, and control hardware and industrial assemblies that use a broad bearing face at the screw end. The broad end face suits prepared flats, repeated adjustment, and jobs where unnecessary deformation of the mating component would create service problems.
The 2-56 designation supplies the ordering thread form, and the 3/4 in. length should be checked against tapped depth and bearing location. For replacement work, preserve the material and point-style details before comparing this item with other set screws. For repair or production work, the alloy steel designation helps distinguish this fastener from material families that serve different environments.
The UNC series and 56 threads per inch are derived from the thread designation. The flat face is useful for components that may be readjusted, indexed, or removed during service. Cold Headers supports exact-size sourcing when a flat point detail matters to the final order.
