10-24 x 1 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert supports repeated adjustment because the radiused tip can ride against the mating surface as settings change. Use this style where the assembly needs rounded contact and a separate thread-locking feature. Specify the heat-treated alloy steel body with nylon pellet when the print calls for mechanical set screw hardware, not a stainless substitute.

Spline-adjacent and keyway-adjacent seating may call for a rounded point where sharp engagement would be too aggressive.

This catalog separates oval point locking screws from plain oval point parts so the insert requirement stays visible. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, groove or seat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution. Socket-key access remains compact when the screw sits below the outside surface of a collar or hub.
