8-36 x 1/4 Knurled Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw keeps the knurled point callout visible when a generic socket set screw search would be too broad.
The serrated knurled cup point bites the mating surface and helps resist vibration-driven back-out in blind holes, softer materials, collars, hubs, and adjustment locations.
Typical review points for 8-36 x 1/4 include fixtures, stops, and removable parts that still need a positive point bite; it may also fit repair bins, equipment rebuilds, and exact-size set screw substitutions where a headless set screw keeps the outside of the component clear while point contact provides the holding action.
The 8-36 thread designation identifies a inch-series inch thread with 36 threads per inch, and the 1/4 in. length should be checked against tapped depth, contact location, and drive access.
The knurled point can be useful where a plain cup point has a tendency to work loose under repeated motion, but final fit still depends on the assembly. Cold Headers supports industrial set screw sourcing when the point style is easy to overlook on the print.
