10-24 x 1/2 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is built for adjustable contact where a rounded point should bear smoothly instead of biting sharply. Use this style where the assembly needs rounded contact and a separate thread-locking feature. Specify the heat-treated alloy steel body with nylon pellet when the print calls for mechanical set screw hardware, not a stainless substitute.
Machine rebuilds use this family when the service record calls for alloy steel, an oval point, and a nylon insert.
In-house pellet installation supports uncommon oval point nylon-insert requirements when a standard plain screw is not enough. For replacement work, Cold Headers keeps the thread, length, alloy material, rounded point, and insert requirement together. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, groove or seat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
