1/4-20 x 5/16 is a soft-tip alloy steel socket set screw for layouts where the exact thread, length, and tip material all need to match the service record.
Typical uses include packaging changeover points, adjustable guide rails, and repeatable machine settings. For maximum bite instead of surface protection, the related cup point alloy set screw family is the better comparison. Brass gives a firmer metallic contact face when that contact style is preferred over nylon.
Cold Headers brings decades of socket fastener experience to tipped screws used in maintenance, production, and repair work. When the need is a self-locking thread element, compare Alloy Set Screws with Nylon Insert instead of a surface-protecting tip screw.
