1/4-28 x 5/16 Knurled Point 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Set Screw identifies a stainless knurled point set screw where the end geometry matters as much as the thread and length.

In blind holes and collars, the knurled cup point can provide a self-locking bite through surface engagement rather than relying on an external head or washer.

For stainless assemblies, review thread fit and installation practice because stainless-on-stainless contact can raise galling concerns if the joint is assembled dry or repeatedly adjusted.

Use cases for 1/4-28 x 5/16 include compact controls, enclosure hardware, and threaded retaining locations and compact controls, enclosure hardware, and threaded retaining locations where a headless internal-hex screw keeps the component exterior clear.

For 1/4-28, UNF has 28 threads per inch; check the 5/16 in. length against tapped depth and point location. Check the screw length against the contact location so the point reaches the intended surface without bottoming out. Cold Headers supports buyers who need the knurled point detail preserved during sourcing rather than blended into a generic set screw request.
