6-32 x 1/2 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert pairs cone-point shaft engagement with a nylon locking pellet in a compact internal-hex set screw. This double-action layout combines point seating at the shaft with prevailing torque inside the threaded hole. Use this alloy steel body with the nylon locking pellet where the drawing calls for a mechanical set screw, not a corrosion-focused stainless part.
Cam plates and eccentric adjustments may specify cone point hardware where the final position must remain indexed. Plain Cone Point Alloy Socket Set Screws may fit single-setting service when the nylon insert is not part of the requirement.
Since 1962, the Cold Headers catalog has focused on socket products that are easy to misidentify without careful size language. Review thread size, length, hex key size, point style, and mating-surface marking tolerance before replacing it with another set screw.
