10-32 x 1/4 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is used when the set screw must bear into a drilled dimple instead of relying only on surface pressure. The point geometry is intended for permanent and semi-permanent settings where the shaft surface can be prepared. Use this alloy steel body with the nylon locking pellet where the drawing calls for a mechanical set screw, not a corrosion-focused stainless part.
Packaging machinery and indexing drives can benefit from internal hex access where exposed head clearance is unavailable.
In-house pellet installation helps Cold Headers support nylon-insert requirements that are easy to confuse with plain cone point screws. For uncommon set screw lengths, Cold Headers can quote the requested configuration without substituting a different point geometry. Review thread size, length, hex key size, point style, and mating-surface marking tolerance before replacing it with another set screw.
