10-24 x 3/16 Flat Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert provides flat-face contact for controlled friction hold in machinery where shaft scarring is a concern. Because the point does not dig in by design, final holding action depends on the surface condition, load, and seating area. Use the heat-treated alloy steel body with the nylon locking pellet where the application calls for mechanical fastening rather than stainless material.
Fixtures that move between production runs may use the flat face to reduce surface damage during repeated clamping. Do not treat plain alloy steel as corrosion resistant; protect or oil the part when the environment demands it.
Cold Headers installs nylon locking pellets in-house at its Chicago facility for this flat point set screw family. Cold Headers supports industrial distributors, OEM buyers, and maintenance teams when a set screw must match the existing print. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, shaft-flat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
