8-32 x 3/16 Knurled Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw identifies the exact thread and length for a knurled point socket set screw used in machine hardware.
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 8-32 x 3/16 include industrial equipment where the screw installs flush within the tapped component; it may also fit automation equipment, fixture blocks, and serviceable machine covers where a headless set screw keeps the outside of the component clear while point contact provides the holding action.
The 8-32 thread designation identifies a UNC inch thread with 32 threads per inch, and the 3/16 in. length should be checked against tapped depth, contact location, and drive access.
The knurled point can be useful where a plain cup point has a tendency to work loose under repeated motion, but final fit still depends on the assembly. Cold Headers supports socket fastener sourcing where point geometry affects fit.
