5/16-24 x 1/4 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert gives purchasing teams a specific alloy steel oval point nylon-insert size for replacement work. Because the rounded point holds less aggressively than a biting point, final selection depends on load, access, and surface condition. Specify the heat-treated alloy steel body with nylon pellet when the print calls for mechanical set screw hardware, not a stainless substitute.

Linkage and lever assemblies may use this point style where the screw meets the mating part at an odd angle.

For replacement work, Cold Headers keeps the thread, length, alloy material, rounded point, and insert requirement together. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, groove or seat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
