8-32 x 1/4 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert gives engineers a cone point for mechanical interlock and a nylon insert for resistance in the mating thread. The cone point is selected for mechanical interlock because the tapered tip seats into a spot or dimple instead of only pressing on the surface. 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.
Maintenance repairs often need the exact thread, length, point style, and locking insert that match the service record.
In-house pellet installation helps Cold Headers support nylon-insert requirements that are easy to confuse with plain cone point screws. When a bill of material calls out cone point alloy hardware with a nylon insert, Cold Headers keeps the catalog path specific. Review thread size, length, hex key size, point style, and mating-surface marking tolerance before replacing it with another set screw.
