10-32 x 5/16 Knurled Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw supports compact fastening where the screw is driven internally and the point contacts the mating surface directly.
The serrated knurled cup point bites the mating surface and helps resist vibration-driven back-out in blind holes, softer materials, collars, hubs, and adjustment locations.
Typical review points for 10-32 x 5/16 include handles, couplings, stops, and light indexing components; it may also fit production machinery that uses internal hex set screws to avoid external head clearance where a headless set screw keeps the outside of the component clear while point contact provides the holding action.
The 10-32 thread designation identifies a UNF inch thread with 32 threads per inch, and the 5/16 in. length should be checked against tapped depth, contact location, and drive access.
The knurled cup point is usually chosen for localized bite rather than for a locating-hole function. Cold Headers can quote this family by exact thread, length, alloy steel material, and knurled point style.
