1/4-28 x 3/8 Cup Point 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert supports set-screw installations where no external head should project from the assembly. The cup point may leave a witness mark depending on shaft material and installation conditions, while the insert works in the threaded engagement. Use 18-8 stainless where the drawing calls for stainless material in indoor machinery, washdown-adjacent equipment, or humid service.
For retrofit vibrating assemblies, replacement collars, or maintenance repairs, check point contact, threaded engagement, and drive access before installation. If shaft protection matters more than cup-point bite, Nylon and Brass Tip 18-8 Socket Set Screws solve a different problem than nylon inserts.
