When a protruding screw head gets in the way of a clean finish, you need a flat head machine screw that sits perfectly flush. Whether you're a woodworker building cabinet frames, a maker assembling electronics enclosures, or a maintenance tech fastening metal brackets, these blue zinc plated Phillips countersunk machine screws deliver a reliable, flush-mount connection without the bulk.
Each pack contains machine screws in your selected size and quantity — M4, M5, or M6 diameter — with lengths ranging from 8mm (5/16") to 40mm (1‑9/16"). The screws are made from carbon steel with a blue zinc electroplated finish that provides a distinctive metallic-blue appearance and moderate corrosion resistance. Packing quantities are 200 pcs (M4), 100 pcs (M5), or 50 pcs (M6) depending on the size selected.
These flat head machine screws are well suited for furniture and cabinetry assembly where a flush surface is required, electronics and enclosure fabrication where panel-mount screws must not protrude, and light machinery and bracket fastening in workshops and production environments. The Phillips drive makes them compatible with standard power drivers for fast installation.

A general rule of thumb is that the screw should penetrate the base material by at least the diameter of the screw. For example, an M5 screw (5mm diameter) should typically embed at least 5mm into the receiving material. Available lengths in this listing range from 8mm (5/16") to 40mm (1‑9/16") — choose based on your combined material thickness plus the required thread engagement depth.
These screws are generally manufactured from carbon steel with a blue zinc electroplating finish. Carbon steel machine screws typically meet property class 4.8 or 8.8 strength grades depending on the specific production batch. For structural or load-bearing applications, please contact us to confirm the grade before ordering.
Blue zinc plating provides moderate corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty sheltered applications. For prolonged outdoor exposure, high humidity, or direct water contact, stainless steel fasteners are generally recommended. Contact us if you need outdoor-rated alternatives.
These screws follow the ISO metric coarse thread standard. M4 has a 0.7mm pitch, M5 has a 0.8mm pitch, and M6 has a 1.0mm pitch. They are compatible with standard metric nuts, threaded inserts, and tapped holes following ISO 68-1 specifications.
These screws use a Phillips (cross) drive head. For M4 and M5, a PH2 bit is typically used. For M6, a PH2 or PH3 bit is generally appropriate depending on head size. Always use a properly sized bit to avoid cam-out and head damage during installation.
A countersunk (flat head) screw has a tapered underside that sits flush with or below the surface of the material when driven into a countersunk hole. This is ideal when a smooth, flush finish is required — such as in cabinetry, electronics enclosures, metal brackets, and furniture assembly where a protruding head would interfere.
Packing quantity varies by diameter: M4 screws are available in 200-piece packs, M5 screws in 100-piece packs, and M6 screws in 50-piece packs. Select your preferred size and quantity combination from the variant options above.
