1/4-20 x 1 1/4 is part of Cold Headers' alloy tipped set screw range, pairing a socket-drive alloy body with a soft nylon contact face.
Typical uses include camera mounts, gauge brackets, and light-duty machine assemblies that need a soft-ended set screw. Nylon and brass tips serve different jobs: nylon gives the softer touch, while brass provides a firmer metallic face. Nylon is the softer contact choice for delicate finishes and repeated adjustment.
The Chicago tip-installation service lets Cold Headers support both catalog tipped screws and related cap screw tipping work. A nylon insert acts on the thread; a nylon or brass tip acts on the mating surface, so the two product families should not be substituted blindly.
