6-32 x 1/16 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 6-32 x 1/16 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 6-32 callout corresponds to UNC thread form and 32 TPI; verify the 1/16 in. length against tapped depth and the desired bearing location. Match the thread and length to the print because length changes can alter where the oval end lands. Cold Headers works with socket fastener requirements where contact shape affects fit and ordering accuracy.
