M3-0.5 x 5 18-8 Stainless Steel Metric Flat Head Socket Cap Screw is a 90° countersunk 18-8 stainless steel metric flat head socket cap screw for flush seating in a matching metric countersink. The head is intended to seat flush when the mating countersink is correctly prepared for the metric flat-head angle.
Guide rails and slide tracks use metric flat heads where any projection can interrupt motion or rub against a moving part. Some metric drawings call this 18-8 family A2 stainless; that is material wording, not a mechanical rating. Confirm overall length, head diameter, head height, socket size, and key engagement before substitution.
Cold Headers has supported specialty socket fastener sourcing since 1962, including exact metric sizes for maintenance and production work. Cut-to-length service can be reviewed for non-standard metric lengths. Compare 18-8 Metric Socket Head Cap Screws when a full cylindrical head is preferred.
