3/8-16 x 1 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is a compact locking set screw for parts that need internal hex access and a rounded contact point. The rounded oval point can make tangent contact on flat, angled, curved, or grooved mating surfaces. Specify the heat-treated alloy steel body with nylon pellet when the print calls for mechanical set screw hardware, not a stainless substitute.
Automation machinery can use these screws in compact collars, guide blocks, stops, and control components.
In-house pellet installation supports uncommon oval point nylon-insert requirements when a standard plain screw is not enough. Cold Headers can help identify the correct rounded-point alloy set screw when a drawing calls out a nylon insert. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, groove or seat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
