10-24 x 1/4 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw is selected for shaft-mounted parts that need a rounded set screw contact instead of a pointed bite.

For assemblies with frequent adjustment, the oval point can reduce surface chewing while still allowing localized contact at the end of the screw.

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 10-24 x 1/4 include fixtures, tooling details, and repositioned stops and fixtures, tooling details, and repositioned stops where smoother point contact is part of the assembly.

The 10-24 callout corresponds to UNC thread form and 24 TPI; verify the 1/4 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 helps buyers keep rounded-point details visible during sourcing.
