5/16-24 x 1 Flat Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is intended for shaft locations where the screw must clamp without the deliberate indentation of sharper point styles. 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.
Large 5/8 flat point nylon-insert sizes support heavier collars and hubs where the print still calls for shaft-friendly contact.
For replacement work, Cold Headers helps keep thread, length, material story, point style, and insert function aligned. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, shaft-flat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
