2-56 x 7/8 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw fits adjustment and positioning work where surface gouging is a concern.
Because the end is smooth and crowned, this style is often reviewed for adjustment screws, stops, knobs, and retained parts that move during setup.
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 2-56 x 7/8 include equipment rebuilds, service records, and exact-size substitutions and handles, collars, accessories, and retained components where smoother point contact is part of the assembly.
The 2-56 callout corresponds to UNC thread form and 56 TPI; verify the 7/8 in. length against tapped depth and the desired bearing location. For replacement work, keep the oval point callout intact before comparing this item to other set screw families. Cold Headers works with socket fastener requirements where contact shape affects fit and ordering accuracy.
