10-24 x 5/8 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert combines an oval bearing tip, internal hex drive, and nylon locking pellet for repeated machine settings. A shallow prepared groove around the shaft lets the point ride axially while still allowing repositioning. Specify the heat-treated alloy steel body with nylon pellet when the print calls for mechanical set screw hardware, not a stainless substitute.
Maintenance repairs often require the same thread, length, oval point, and locking feature already installed.
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. Socket-key access remains compact when the screw sits below the outside surface of a collar or hub.
