10-32 x 3/16 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert identifies the exact thread and length for an alloy steel oval point set screw with a nylon insert. A shallow prepared groove around the shaft lets the point ride axially while still allowing repositioning. 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. Alloy steel is not the corrosion-focused option, so use protective oiling or a stainless request when exposure requires it.

Cold Headers can quote the requested oval point nylon-insert item without steering the request toward a biting point style. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, groove or seat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
