For finished parts that need a softer bearing face, 6-32 x 1/2 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. Because the tip is the contact element, the mating material and acceptable witness mark should guide final selection. Nylon is the softer contact choice for delicate finishes and repeated adjustment.
Cold Headers installs nylon and brass tips at its Chicago facility for set screws and cap screws when a tipped configuration is required. Because the tip is the contact element, the mating material and acceptable witness mark should guide final selection.
