For set-screw locations near finished shafts or plated components, 1/2-13 x 1 1/2 gives maintenance teams a brass tipped alloy option with verified tip dimensions.
Typical uses include camera mounts, gauge brackets, and light-duty machine assemblies that need a soft-ended set screw. The alloy body is the dry-service workhorse choice when the bill of material calls for an alloy socket set screw with a soft face. Brass gives a firmer metallic contact face when that contact style is preferred over nylon.
Cold Headers installs nylon and brass tips at its Chicago facility for set screws and cap screws when a tipped configuration is required. Because the tip is the contact element, the mating material and acceptable witness mark should guide final selection.
