8-32 x 1/4 Flat Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert uses a flat point to protect finished or hardened mating surfaces while the insert adds thread friction. The internal hex drive keeps the screw headless and accessible in collars, hubs, and compact machine details. 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.

Cold Headers supports industrial distributors, OEM buyers, and maintenance teams when a set screw must match the existing print. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, shaft-flat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
