5/16-24 x 5/16 Half Dog Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is built for assemblies where location is controlled by a half dog point rather than by point bite alone. 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. Cold Headers can review non-catalog pelletized set screw requests when the item must retain half dog point geometry. This size is a hard-to-find nylon-insert half dog option, so keep the exact thread and length together when requesting a quote.
Cold Headers helps buyers keep the half dog point requirement visible when similar nylon-insert set screws are easy to confuse. Review insert dimensions, hex key size, and ASME B18.3 before ordering this alloy steel socket set screw.
