When the print calls for a tipped set screw rather than a cup point, 3/8-24 x 1 1/4 gives buyers a nylon contact face on an alloy steel body.
Typical uses include lead screws, ball screws, racks, and adjustment stops that are reset during setup. Buyers should confirm the tip material, thread fit, thread size, and threaded body length against the drawing before substitution. Nylon is the softer contact choice for delicate finishes and repeated adjustment.
Tip installation is handled by Cold Headers in Chicago, giving this category a practical home for soft-face set screw requirements. That makes it useful when the set screw must bear on a finished or plated part and later be adjusted again.
