10-24 x 5/8 Flat Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert combines a flat bearing point, internal hex drive, and nylon locking pellet for adjustable machine settings. A prepared flat on the shaft gives the point a full-width seat and improves holding contact without penetration. Use the heat-treated alloy steel body with the nylon locking pellet where the application calls for mechanical fastening rather than stainless material.

Handle and control retention often benefits from a headless screw that can be serviced from the socket end.

The nylon pellet is added to create thread drag while leaving the flat bearing face responsible for shaft contact. Cold Headers can help identify the correct flat point alloy set screw when the drawing calls out a locking insert. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, shaft-flat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
