5/16-18 x 3/8 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is intended for contact points where a rounded tip is preferred over a rim bite or sharp interlock. Because the rounded point holds less aggressively than a biting point, final selection depends on load, access, and surface condition. Specify the heat-treated alloy steel body with nylon pellet when the print calls for mechanical set screw hardware, not a stainless substitute.
Typical uses include adjustment collars that are repositioned between production runs without changing the basic hardware.
For replacement work, Cold Headers keeps the thread, length, alloy material, rounded point, and insert requirement together. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, groove or seat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
