10-32 x 5/8 Flat Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert provides flat-face contact for controlled friction hold in machinery where shaft scarring is a concern. Because the point does not dig in by design, final holding action depends on the surface condition, load, and seating area. Use the heat-treated alloy steel body with the nylon locking pellet where the application calls for mechanical fastening rather than stainless material.
Finished shafting, control rods, and small mechanical linkages can use a broad contact point to reduce marring. ASME B18.3 places flat point diameter in a qualitative band of about 0.55-0.62 times nominal screw diameter, so confirm the mating seat rather than substituting a sharp point.
Cold Headers supports industrial distributors, OEM buyers, and maintenance teams when a set screw must match the existing print. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, shaft-flat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
