10-24 x 3/16 Cup Point Slotted Headless Set Screw fits applications where a screwdriver-driven cup point set screw is preferred over socket-key installation. The slot can be driven with common flat-blade tools, avoiding the need to identify and carry a separate key size. The hollow-rim point can bite into the mating surface, so selection should consider whether a witness mark is acceptable.
Engineers and repair technicians may specify this size for plant maintenance, shop repair, instrument housings, and service records calling out slotted hardware when below-surface installation is required. Carbon steel should be kept dry and oiled; ask about stainless options when environmental exposure is part of the job. Review Knurled Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screws when the application calls for a more aggressive vibration-grip point.
Cold Headers helps match exact sizes for legacy hardware, maintenance work, and distributor sourcing requests. When replacing a removed screw, compare thread, length, slot condition, and whether the cup point matches the original intent.
