Newport M-RPR-410-8 optical table screw size
M6 · 25 mm long
The screws used on Newport M-RPR-410-8 optical table are M6, 25 mm long.
The record covers metric M6 holes on a 25mm grid.
This entry is marked confirmed and comes from newport.com.
For reference, M6 is 6 mm across the threads at 1 mm pitch. The imperial size people confuse it with: 1/4in-20 (6.35 mm) — the tripod/camera thread; visibly larger than M6.

How to check the screw before you buy
- Camera and optics hardware often uses short screws into thin threaded plates, so check engagement before tightening fully.
- 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: measure from under the head to the tip for pan, button, wafer and cap heads; countersunk (flat) heads are measured overall.
- The record states 25 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
- Optical tables come in metric (M6 on 25mm centres) and imperial (1/4-20 on 1in centres) — mixing them cross-threads the table.
- TS-Optics Losmandy-style dovetail bars drill through-holes sized to accept either M6 metric screws or 1/4" imperial screws interchangeably in the same countersunk holes.

Questions about Newport M-RPR-410-8 optical table screws
- What size screw does Newport M-RPR-410-8 optical table use?
- M6 × 25 mm for metric M6 holes on a 25mm grid.
- How long are the screws in Newport M-RPR-410-8 optical table?
- The record gives 25 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 Newport M-RPR-410-8 optical table?
- 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.
