1/4-20 x 3/16 is a nylon tip alloy steel socket set screw built for set-screw fastening where a soft contact face is preferred over a hardened point.

Typical uses include polished shaft collars, small hubs, and replacement collars on finished round stock. The soft tip concentrates contact at the end of the screw while avoiding the harsher bite of an untreated alloy point. Nylon is the softer contact choice for delicate finishes and repeated adjustment.

Cold Headers has supplied specialty socket fasteners since 1962 and keeps this category focused on exact size, tip material, and application fit. When the need is a self-locking thread element, compare Alloy Set Screws with Nylon Insert instead of a surface-protecting tip screw.
