M4-0.7 x 8 18-8 Stainless Steel Metric Flat Head Socket Cap Screw fits imported or internationally designed equipment that specifies metric countersunk socket hardware. Unlike a cylindrical socket head, the countersunk head spreads into the prepared recess instead of standing above the surface.

Moving-part clearance zones use countersunk screws to keep nearby slides, linkages, or covers from contacting the fastener head. Stainless-on-stainless threads can gall when driven fast and dry, so moderate installation speed with lubricant or anti-seize is common practice. Confirm overall length, head diameter, head height, socket size, and key engagement before substitution.

Cold Headers keeps this 18-8 metric flat head family separated from inch-series and alloy rows so purchasers can keep the drawing callout intact. 18-8 Metric Button Head Socket Cap Screws reduce projection without a countersink.
