Where a standard pointed set screw would be too aggressive for the mating part, 1/4-28 x 3/8 offers a nylon tip on an alloy steel socket set screw body.
Typical uses include instrument fixtures, small control components, and bench-built positioning hardware. 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.
The Chicago tip-installation service lets Cold Headers support both catalog tipped screws and related cap screw tipping work. For humid or washdown service, compare the Nylon and Brass Tip 18-8 Stainless Socket Set Screws family; this page remains the alloy-body route.
