1/4-28 x 3/4 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is built for adjustable contact where a rounded point should bear smoothly instead of biting sharply. 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. Nylon and brass tip set screws protect by tip material, while a nylon insert locks the thread and an oval point reduces marking by geometry.
Cold Headers can quote the requested oval point nylon-insert item without steering the request toward a biting point style. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, groove or seat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
