1/4-20 x 3/8 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert gives designers a rounded-contact set screw for shafts, grooves, and seats that may not be perfectly square. Oval point geometry favors adjustable contact and re-seating rather than maximum bite into the mating part. Specify the heat-treated alloy steel body with nylon pellet when the print calls for mechanical set screw hardware, not a stainless substitute.
Machine rebuilds use this family when the service record calls for alloy steel, an oval point, and a nylon insert.
The nylon pellet is added to create thread drag while leaving the rounded point responsible for mating-surface contact. Cold Headers focuses on exact-size socket fastener sourcing for production cells, repairs, and plant maintenance programs. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, groove or seat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
