setscrew
A setscrew is a type of screw generally used to secure an object within or against another object. They are commonly found in tools and equipment, where they typically hold a device like a pulley or gear on a shaft. They exert a compressional force on the shaft, preventing the objects from moving or loosening during operation. Setscrews are not like other screws that are screwed into a threaded or pre-drilled hole, they have a variety of point styles including flat point, cup point, cone point, and others.
