1/2-13 x 5/8 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert supports permanent or semi-permanent shaft settings where the point is intended to seat into the mating component. This double-action layout combines point seating at the shaft with prevailing torque inside the threaded hole. Use this alloy steel body with the nylon locking pellet where the drawing calls for a mechanical set screw, not a corrosion-focused stainless part.
Fixture stops and production tooling can use the pointed seat to hold a repeatable location through repeated handling.
Cold Headers can help source hard-to-find cone point nylon-insert set screws while preserving the exact SKU requirement. Review thread size, length, hex key size, point style, and mating-surface marking tolerance before replacing it with another set screw. The internal hex recess also keeps installation access compact when the screw is recessed in a hub or collar.
