I assume that you want SHCS? I'm not sure about 5mm but M5-0.8x6 is readily available: https://www.fastenal.com/products/fasteners/sockets/socket-cap-screws?term=s ocket+head&r=~%7Ccategoryl1:%22600000%20Fasteners%22%7C~%20~%7Ccategoryl2:%2 2600039%20Sockets%22%7C~%20~%7Ccategoryl3:%22600040%20Socket%20Cap%20Screws% 22%7C~%20~%7Csattr05:%5E6mm$%7C~%20~%7Csattr04:%5E%22M5%20-%200.8%22$%7C~
A M5 dog point set screw might be more suitable though: https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/90294?term=set+screw&r=~%7Ccategor yl1:%22600000%20Fasteners%22%7C~%20~%7Ccategoryl2:%22600047%20Set%20Screws%2 2%7C~%20~%7Ccategoryl3:%22600049%20Socket%20Set%20Screws%22%7C~%20~%7Csattr0 4:%5E%22M5%20-%200.8%22$%7C~%20~%7Csattr05:%5E5mm$%7C~%20~%7Csattr05:%5E6mm$ %7C~ > -----Original Message----- > From: Gene Heskett [mailto:ghesk...@shentel.net] > Sent: Saturday, March 31, 2018 3:32 PM > To: emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Emc-users] looking for M5mm x .8 5mm long screws > > And I don't seem to find any shorter than 10mm. > > 5mm long would be a great plenty.
