1/4-20 x 1/4 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is built for adjustable contact where a rounded point should bear smoothly instead of biting sharply. The rounded oval point can make tangent contact on flat, angled, curved, or grooved mating surfaces. Specify the heat-treated alloy steel body with nylon pellet when the print calls for mechanical set screw hardware, not a stainless substitute.

Linkage and lever assemblies may use this point style where the screw meets the mating part at an odd angle.

Cold Headers can quote the requested oval point nylon-insert item without steering the request toward a biting point style. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, groove or seat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
