5/16-24 x 4 Cup Point Square Head Set Screw is a case hardened carbon steel set screw built around an external square head instead of a recessed drive. The open square head is useful when a standard wrench is preferred and the drive must stay visible during adjustment.

Sprocket hubs, drive collars, and shaft-mounted handles are natural locations for a cup point that bears against a mating surface. For square-head specifications that call for half dog, full dog, flat, cone, or oval points, review the broader Square Head Set Screws family.

Fine-thread and longer square-head sizes are a hard-to-find lane, so exact thread and length identification matters before sourcing. Review the thread, length, square-head dimensions, and cup point diameter before substituting another set screw style.
