8-32 x 5/16 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is used when the set screw must bear into a drilled dimple instead of relying only on surface pressure. A spotted shaft gives the point a defined pocket, so the set screw can locate more positively during installation. 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.

Replacement assemblies with dimpled shafts can keep the original point style while adding a nylon insert for thread friction.

Cold Headers supports distributor, OEM, and MRO sourcing when the item has to be defined by size, point, material, drive, and insert. Review thread size, length, hex key size, point style, and mating-surface marking tolerance before replacing it with another set screw.
