10-32 x 5/16 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is the nylon-insert version of an oval point socket set screw for compact industrial adjustment assemblies. Because the rounded point holds less aggressively than a biting point, final selection depends on load, access, and surface condition. Specify the heat-treated alloy steel body with nylon pellet when the print calls for mechanical set screw hardware, not a stainless substitute.

Fine-thread 7/16-20 and 5/8-18 rows help match uncommon oval point locking requirements that are easy to mis-source. When maximum bite on a plain shaft matters more than adjustability, compare Cup Point Alloy Set Screws with Nylon Insert.

Cold Headers focuses on exact-size socket fastener sourcing for production cells, repairs, and plant maintenance programs. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, groove or seat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
