10-32 x 3/16 Flat Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert identifies the exact thread and length for an alloy steel flat point set screw with a nylon insert. A prepared flat on the shaft gives the point a full-width seat and improves holding contact without penetration. Use the heat-treated alloy steel body with the nylon locking pellet where the application calls for mechanical fastening rather than stainless material.
Large 5/8 flat point nylon-insert sizes support heavier collars and hubs where the print still calls for shaft-friendly contact. ASME B18.3 places flat point diameter in a qualitative band of about 0.55-0.62 times nominal screw diameter, so confirm the mating seat rather than substituting a sharp point. When maximum bite matters more than shaft protection, compare Cup Point Alloy Set Screws with Nylon Insert.
Cold Headers can quote the requested flat point nylon-insert configuration without changing the point style to a biting design. Check size, socket, pellet dimensions, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
