1/4-20 x 1/2 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert supports repeated adjustment because the radiused tip can ride against the mating surface as settings change. The rounded oval point can make tangent contact on flat, angled, curved, or grooved mating surfaces. Specify the heat-treated alloy steel body with nylon pellet when the print calls for mechanical set screw hardware, not a stainless substitute.

Typical uses include adjustment collars that are repositioned between production runs without changing the basic hardware.

Cold Headers can help identify the correct rounded-point alloy set screw when a drawing calls out a nylon insert. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, groove or seat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
