5/16-24 x 7/16 Flat Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert combines a flat bearing point, internal hex drive, and nylon locking pellet for adjustable machine settings. The nylon insert works in the female thread, adding prevailing torque while the point handles surface contact. Use the heat-treated alloy steel body with the nylon locking pellet where the application calls for mechanical fastening rather than stainless material.
Fixtures that move between production runs may use the flat face to reduce surface damage during repeated clamping.
Cold Headers can review non-catalog flat point set screw needs when the application requires a nylon insert. Cold Headers supports industrial distributors, OEM buyers, and maintenance teams when a set screw must match the existing print. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, shaft-flat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
