For finished parts that need a softer bearing face, 10-32 x 3/8 supplies an alloy steel socket set screw with a nylon tip matched to the row's verified dimensions.
Typical uses include machine-tool stops on finished ways, fixture pads, and locating features used during setup. That makes it useful when the set screw must bear on a finished or plated part and later be adjusted again. Nylon is the softer contact choice for delicate finishes and repeated adjustment.
For tipped set screws and related tipped cap screws, Cold Headers' Chicago operation handles the soft-face installation work. For maximum bite instead of surface protection, the related cup point alloy set screw family is the better comparison.
