6-40 x 1/2 Flat Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert gives designers a surface-respecting set screw option when the shaft should remain usable after repositioning. This point style is useful when the part may be loosened, slid, and reclamped during changeover or setup. Use the heat-treated alloy steel body with the nylon locking pellet where the application calls for mechanical fastening rather than stainless material.
Typical uses include adjustable collars and stops on finished shafts where the contact mark must be controlled. When maximum bite matters more than shaft protection, compare Cup Point Alloy Set Screws with Nylon Insert.
Cold Headers can quote the requested flat point nylon-insert configuration without changing the point style to a biting design. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, shaft-flat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
