3/8-24 x 5/16 is an alloy steel socket set screw fitted with a brass tip for machinery and tooling locations where surface marking must be controlled.

Typical uses include machine-tool stops on finished ways, fixture pads, and locating features used during setup. Buyers should confirm the tip material, thread fit, thread size, and threaded body length against the drawing before substitution. Brass gives a firmer metallic contact face when that contact style is preferred over nylon.

Cold Headers applies nylon and brass tips in-house, which keeps the contact-face detail tied closely to the socket fastener itself. 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.
