When the print calls for a tipped set screw rather than a cup point, 8-32 x 3/16 gives buyers a brass contact face on an alloy steel body.
Typical uses include spline shafts, keyed shafts, and hub locations where the mating surface should not be chewed by a bare point. 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.
Cold Headers supports set-screw users with application-aware sizing help and a catalog built around specialty socket products. That makes it useful when the set screw must bear on a finished or plated part and later be adjusted again.
