1/2-20 x 7/16 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is built for adjustable contact where a rounded point should bear smoothly instead of biting sharply. The rounded oval point can make tangent contact on flat, angled, curved, or grooved mating surfaces. Specify the heat-treated alloy steel body with nylon pellet when the print calls for mechanical set screw hardware, not a stainless substitute.

Knobs and handles on control shafts may use an oval point when the screw approaches a curved or grooved surface.

Cold Headers can quote the requested oval point nylon-insert item without steering the request toward a biting point style. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, groove or seat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
