3/8-16 x 1/4 is an alloy steel socket set screw fitted with a nylon tip for machinery and tooling locations where surface marking must be controlled.

Typical uses include anodized frames, plated components, and other assemblies where a softer contact face is useful. These parts are often selected where repeat adjustment matters and the mating surface is more valuable than the replaceable tip. Nylon is the softer contact choice for delicate finishes and repeated adjustment.

Cold Headers supports set-screw users with application-aware sizing help and a catalog built around specialty socket products. For thread locking rather than surface protection, Alloy Set Screws with Nylon Insert solve a different job than nylon or brass tip screws.
