6-32 x 1/4 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert fits cone-point set screw locations where the part drawing calls for alloy steel body construction and a locking insert. 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.
OEM assemblies with spotted shafts use cone points to separate the locating function from ordinary clamp screws. Half Dog Point Alloy Set Screws with Nylon Insert should be compared when a drilled hole, not a dimple, is the locating feature.
Cold Headers can discuss pelletized set screw needs when a print requires prevailing torque in addition to point engagement. Cold Headers has worked with specialty socket fasteners since 1962 and supports exact thread-and-length identification for repair and production work. Review thread size, length, hex key size, point style, and mating-surface marking tolerance before replacing it with another set screw.
