For compact assemblies without an external screw head, 3/8-24 x 5/16 provides an internal-socket set screw with a nylon tip for controlled contact.
Typical uses include maintenance repairs, retrofit stops, and machine rebuilds where matching the original tip material matters. Because the tip is the contact element, the mating material and acceptable witness mark should guide final selection. Nylon is the softer contact choice for delicate finishes and repeated adjustment.
Cold Headers installs nylon and brass tips at its Chicago facility for set screws and cap screws when a tipped configuration is required. For maximum bite instead of surface protection, the related cup point alloy set screw family is the better comparison.
