For finished parts that need a softer bearing face, 5/16-24 x 5/8 supplies an alloy steel socket set screw with a brass tip matched to the row's verified dimensions.
Typical uses include jig and fixture adjustment, workholding details, and service parts that return to the same location. Nylon and brass tips serve different jobs: nylon gives the softer touch, while brass provides a firmer metallic face. Brass gives a firmer metallic contact face when that contact style is preferred over nylon.
Tip installation is handled by Cold Headers in Chicago, giving this category a practical home for soft-face set screw requirements. That makes it useful when the set screw must bear on a finished or plated part and later be adjusted again.
