When the print calls for a tipped set screw rather than a cup point, 1/4-28 x 1/4 gives buyers a brass contact face on an alloy steel body.

Typical uses include spline shafts, keyed shafts, and hub locations where the mating surface should not be chewed by a bare point. Nylon and brass tips serve different jobs: nylon gives the softer touch, while brass provides a firmer metallic face. Brass gives a firmer metallic contact face when that contact style is preferred over nylon.

For uncommon lengths or fine-thread tipped screws, Cold Headers supports exact-size sourcing without changing the specified tip material. That makes it useful when the set screw must bear on a finished or plated part and later be adjusted again.
