For adjustment locations that are loosened and reset, 1/4-20 x 5/8 uses a nylon tip so the replaceable face takes the contact instead of the mating surface.
Typical uses include die and mold setup screws, clamp stops, and fixture elements where the tip is the sacrificial face. 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. Because the tip is the contact element, the mating material and acceptable witness mark should guide final selection.
