Oval Point Set Screws
Oval point socket set screws are precision fasteners designed with a rounded, swivel‑friendly point, allowing for smooth contact against the mating surface. This oval‑shaped tip enables controlled pressure while minimizing surface damage, making these screws ideal for applications requiring frequent adjustments, soft‑surface contact, or where slight rotational movement must be accommodated without marring.
The oval point provides a secure seating position while still permitting fine-tuning or repositioning, making these screws especially valuable in assemblies where alignment, indexing, or repeatable adjustments are essential. Their internal hex (Allen) drive ensures solid torque transfer and easy installation in tight or recessed areas.

Oval point set screws are commonly used in securing shafts, collars, knobs, couplings, and machine components where surface protection and consistent clamping are required. The rounded tip delivers a balanced grip that won’t dig into or scar softer materials—a key advantage over cup or cone point options.
These fasteners also excel in applications that benefit from slight movement or realignment, such as electronics, instrumentation, machinery adjustment points, and mechanical controls. Available in multiple materials, finishes, and thread sizes, oval point set screws provide dependable fastening performance for both delicate and heavy‑duty applications.
