Head and drive, as the source states them: socket cap head.
This entry is marked confirmed and comes from item24.com.
M6 means a 6 mm nominal diameter with a 1 mm thread pitch. Imperial look-alike: 1/4in-20 (6.35 mm) — the tripod/camera thread; visibly larger than M6.

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 M6 screw measures about 6 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
- Pitch: 1 mm from one thread crest to the next (10 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
- Length: for socket cap screws, measure from under the head to the tip (countersunk heads are the exception: they are measured overall).
- The record states 6 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 M6 heads take PH3 for Phillips and T30 for Torx, and a 5 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 M6 is about 7-10 N·m into metal threads and 2.5-4.0 N·m into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M6
- Manual explicitly warns that under-tightening this M6 hinge screw can let the door glass crash into the drum, so torque compliance matters more than just thread match.
- The same TV model line can span M4 to M8 depending on screen size — match the VESA pattern, not the diagonal.

Questions about item T-Slot Nut F (line 8) fastening set with hexagon socket head cap screw screws
- What size screw does item T-Slot Nut F (line 8) fastening set with hexagon socket head cap screw use?
- M6 × 6 mm for item24 product page for Fastening Set 8 6-8mm lists Hexagon Socket Head Cap Screw DIN 912-M8x18 with matching T-Slot Nut 8 St, and separately the T-Slot Nut F line 8 product explicitly offers Thread option M6 (grub screw DIN 916 M6x6) for T-slot aluminum profile systems.
- How long are the screws in item T-Slot Nut F (line 8) fastening set with hexagon socket head cap screw?
- The record gives 6 mm. Measure the original from under the head (overall for a countersunk head) to confirm before ordering.
- What is the thread pitch of an M6 screw?
- 1 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M6 machine screws; a 0.75 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 5 mm and the normal clearance hole is 6.6 mm.
- What screwdriver do I need for item T-Slot Nut F (line 8) fastening set with hexagon socket head cap screw?
- The sources do not name the drive. For M6, Phillips heads normally take PH3 and Torx heads T30; socket heads take a 5 mm hex key.
- Can I use an imperial screw instead of M6?
- No. Imperial look-alike: 1/4in-20 (6.35 mm) — the tripod/camera thread; visibly larger than M6. Use a true M6 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
