8-32 x 1/2 Flat Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is a compact locking set screw for parts that need internal hex access and a non-penetrating point. 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.
Drive collars and light hub assemblies may specify this style when shaft protection matters more than a point bite. Half Dog Point Alloy Set Screws with Nylon Insert fit applications where the point registers in a drilled hole.
Cold Headers installs nylon locking pellets in-house at its Chicago facility for this flat point set screw family. Cold Headers focuses on exact-size socket fastener sourcing for production, repair, and plant maintenance needs. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, shaft-flat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
