1/4-28 x 5/16 is specified for dry-service set-screw work where the screw must hold adjustment while reducing direct steel-on-part contact.

Typical uses include repeated-adjustment mechanisms, handwheel hubs, knobs, and handles that may be loosened during maintenance. 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.

For tipped set screws and related tipped cap screws, Cold Headers' Chicago operation handles the soft-face installation work. A nylon insert acts on the thread; a nylon or brass tip acts on the mating surface, so the two product families should not be substituted blindly.
