10-24 x 5/16 Flat Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is chosen when a flat point should seat on a shaft flat while the nylon insert resists backing out. A prepared flat on the shaft gives the point a full-width seat and improves holding contact without penetration. Use the heat-treated alloy steel body with the nylon locking pellet where the application calls for mechanical fastening rather than stainless material.

Machine rebuilds use this family when the service record calls for alloy steel, a flat point, and a 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.
