6-32 x 3/16 Flat Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is specified when friction clamping and thread-level locking are both required in a headless fastener. Flat point geometry favors surface protection and repeatable adjustment rather than maximum bite into the mating part. Use the heat-treated alloy steel body with the nylon locking pellet where the application calls for mechanical fastening rather than stainless material.
Machine rebuilds use this family when the service record calls for alloy steel, a flat point, and a nylon insert. Nylon and brass tip set screws protect by tip material, while a nylon insert locks the thread and the flat point protects by geometry.
Cold Headers has supplied specialty socket fasteners since 1962 and keeps point style, insert type, and size language clear. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, shaft-flat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
