Cup point set screws have a thin edge that digs into the contact surface for a secure hold on a wide range of surfaces.

Also known as dog-point set screws, these set screws have a protruding tip that locks within a mating hole or slot to keep parts aligned.

A ball bearing tip rolls to allow for slight adjustments without loosening the screw.

Also known as jam screws, these lock other screws in place, hold pins, and adjust spring tension.
