Where a standard pointed set screw would be too aggressive for the mating part, 5/16-24 x 1 1/4 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. 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.
