How long are the screws in Shapeoko 5 Pro CNC router?

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 M5 screw?

0.8 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M5 machine screws; a 0.5 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 4.2 mm and the normal clearance hole is 5.5 mm.

What screwdriver do I need for Shapeoko 5 Pro CNC router?

The source lists a Hex socket (Allen) drive. Standard M5 heads otherwise take PH2 (Phillips) or T25 (Torx), or a 4 mm hex key.

Can I use an imperial screw instead of M5?

No. Imperial look-alike: #10-32 (4.83 mm) — the other common rack thread; check before mixing. Use a true M5 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.

Shapeoko 5 Pro CNC router screw size

M5 · 10 mm long

The screws used on Shapeoko 5 Pro CNC router are M5, 10 mm long.

The record covers "Use a 4mm hex key and four (4) M5x10mm SHCS to secure the X-motor to the motor mount".

Head and drive, as the source states them: socket cap head and Hex socket (Allen) drive.

This entry is marked confirmed and comes from guides.carbide3d.com.

An M5 screw is 5 mm in diameter with a 0.8 mm pitch, tapped with a 4.2 mm drill; imperial look-alike: #10-32 (4.83 mm) — the other common rack thread; check before mixing.

How to check the screw before you buy

Printer and CNC builds usually publish a bill of materials; when it lists a length, follow it, since extrusion T-nuts and motor faces have fixed thread depths.
Diameter: across the threads an M5 screw measures about 5 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
Pitch: 0.8 mm from one thread crest to the next (12.5 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 10 mm. Going longer risks bottoming out or touching parts behind the hole; going shorter loses thread engagement.
Driver: the source names a Hex socket (Allen) drive. For comparison, standard M5 heads take PH2 (Phillips) or T25 (Torx), or a 4 mm hex key.
Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M5 is about 4.0-6.0 N·m into metal threads and 1.5-2.5 N·m into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.

Common mix-ups with M5

M5x0.8 is the de facto universal bike thread — confirm 0.8mm pitch before threading into carbon or alloy bosses.
