When the print calls for a tipped set screw rather than a cup point, 1/4-20 x 3/8 gives buyers a nylon contact face on an alloy steel body.
Typical uses include lead screws, ball screws, racks, and adjustment stops that are reset during setup. The 3A thread fit keeps the screw in the precision set-screw class while the tip changes the way the end contacts the part. Nylon is the softer contact choice for delicate finishes and repeated adjustment.
Cold Headers' tipped-screw program is built for buyers who need the right contact face without losing the reviewed thread and length. The 18-8 stainless tipped-screw family is the adjacent choice for ordinary moisture exposure while this alloy version serves dry-service work.
