5/16-24 x 3/4 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is specified where a tapered conical point should nest into a prepared shaft spot while the nylon insert adds prevailing torque. Because a cone point marks the mating surface by design, it is best reserved for parts where indentation is acceptable. Use this alloy steel body with the nylon locking pellet where the drawing calls for a mechanical set screw, not a corrosion-focused stainless part.
Light-drive keyless hub alternatives sometimes use a cone point where the application allows a marked shaft surface.
For uncommon set screw lengths, Cold Headers can quote the requested configuration without substituting a different point geometry. Review thread size, length, hex key size, point style, and mating-surface marking tolerance before replacing it with another set screw.
