10-32 x 2 1/4 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw identifies the exact thread and length for an alloy steel oval point socket set screw.
For assemblies with frequent adjustment, the oval point can reduce surface chewing while still allowing localized contact at the end of the screw.
Keep the alloy steel callout tied to the ordered part, while still reviewing exposure conditions and the surface condition expected at the contact point.
Typical review areas for 10-32 x 2 1/4 include compact machinery where external screw heads would interfere and compact machinery where external screw heads would interfere where smoother point contact is part of the assembly.
The 10-32 callout corresponds to UNF thread form and 32 TPI; verify the 2 1/4 in. length against tapped depth and the desired bearing location. If a groove or curved seat is used, confirm that the screw reaches it without bottoming out in the tapped bore. Cold Headers helps buyers keep rounded-point details visible during sourcing.
