3/8-24 x 1 Half Dog Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is specified when the drawing calls for alloy steel, a half dog point, and a nylon insert in the same screw. This point style is chosen when repeatable angular or axial location matters more than a bite mark on an unprepared shaft.
Keyless locating on light-duty shafts can use the half dog point where a positive register is preferred over aggressive surface bite. Check mating feature, hex access, screw length, and marking tolerance. This size is a hard-to-find nylon-insert half dog option, so keep the exact thread and length together when requesting a quote. For environments outside plain alloy service, Cold Headers can quote a non-catalog stainless half dog nylon-insert request.
Since 1962, Cold Headers has supported industrial buyers where a small difference in set screw point geometry changes the fit. Review insert dimensions, hex key size, and ASME B18.3 before ordering this alloy steel socket set screw.
