5/8-18 x 3/8 Flat Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert identifies the exact thread and length for an alloy steel flat point set screw with a nylon insert. This point style is useful when the part may be loosened, slid, and reclamped during changeover or setup. Use the heat-treated alloy steel body with the nylon locking pellet where the application calls for mechanical fastening rather than stainless material.
Handle and control retention often benefits from a headless screw that can be serviced from the socket end.
Cold Headers installs nylon locking pellets in-house at its Chicago facility for this flat point set screw family. Large 5/8 flat point locking set screws are not always easy to source through general-line channels. Since 1962, Cold Headers has helped buyers sort closely related socket products that can be easy to confuse. Check size, socket, pellet dimensions, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
