Inventables X-Carve 300W 24VDC spindle kit screw size
M4 · 10 mm long
Inventables X-Carve 300W 24VDC spindle kit takes M4 metric screws, 10 mm long.
Where it is used: spindle-to-carriage mount screws (3x socket head cap).
This entry is marked confirmed and comes from x-carve-instructions.inventables.com.
M4 means a 4 mm nominal diameter with a 0.7 mm thread pitch. Imperial look-alike: #8-32 (4.17 mm) — the standard US PC/rack screw, close but not the same.

How to check the screw before you buy
- Into printed plastic, the screw either self-taps or needs a heat-set insert; machine screws straight into plastic strip easily.
- Diameter: across the threads an M4 screw measures about 4 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
- Pitch: 0.7 mm from one thread crest to the next (14.29 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
- Length: measure from under the head to the tip for pan, button, wafer and cap heads; countersunk (flat) heads are measured overall.
- The record states 10 mm. Going longer risks bottoming out or touching parts behind the hole; going shorter loses thread engagement.
- Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M4 heads take PH2 for Phillips and T20 for Torx, and a 3 mm hex key for socket heads; a bit that fits loosely will cam out and strip the head.
- Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M4 is about 2.0-3.0 N·m into metal threads and 0.8-1.4 N·m into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M4
- M4 and 6-32 UNC share a nominal diameter with different pitch — a classic cross-thread in US-market kits.

Questions about Inventables X-Carve 300W 24VDC spindle kit screws
- What size screw does Inventables X-Carve 300W 24VDC spindle kit use?
- M4 × 10 mm for spindle-to-carriage mount screws (3x socket head cap).
- How long are the screws in Inventables X-Carve 300W 24VDC spindle kit?
- The record gives 10 mm. Measure the original from under the head (overall for a countersunk head) to confirm before ordering.
- What is the thread pitch of an M4 screw?
- 0.7 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M4 machine screws; a 0.5 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 3.3 mm and the normal clearance hole is 4.5 mm.
- What screwdriver do I need for Inventables X-Carve 300W 24VDC spindle kit?
- The sources do not name the drive. For M4, Phillips heads normally take PH2 and Torx heads T20; socket heads take a 3 mm hex key.
- Can I use an imperial screw instead of M4?
- No. Imperial look-alike: #8-32 (4.17 mm) — the standard US PC/rack screw, close but not the same. Use a true M4 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
