8-32 x 3/16 Knurled Point 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Set Screw supports compact drive access while keeping the serrated cup point at the working end of the screw.
Cup-point serrations add bite at the contact area, making this style useful for shaft collars, stops, knobs, and adjustment parts that need localized holding contact.
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 8-32 x 3/16 include machine rebuilds, process-area equipment, and small retained components and replacement assemblies, maintenance repairs, and exact-size service work where a headless internal-hex screw keeps the component exterior clear.
For 8-32, UNC has 32 threads per inch; check the 3/16 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 works with socket fastener requirements where small catalog details can affect the final order.
