Countersunk screw DIN 963 M2x14 (10pcs)

The DIN 963 M2x14 Countersunk Screw: Small Component, Big Difference in Assembly

In the world of slot and modelling, assembly details make the difference between a clean build and a half-hearted job. The countersunk slotted screws conforming to DIN 963 are the industrial standard for fastenings where the head must be flush or recessed into the surface, avoiding unwanted protrusions and ensuring a neat finish.

This pack contains 10 units of the M2x14 screw (diameter 2 mm, length 14 mm) with reference CXM365. A very common size in slot chassis preparation, body assembly, static model construction, and the creation of dioramas and figure stands.

Main Features

• DIN 963 Standard: countersunk screw with a straight slot, an internationally recognised standard widely used in precision mechanics.
• M2 Metric: 2 mm diameter, suitable for threading into small format parts where space is limited.
• Length 14 mm: provides sufficient grip for fastenings in medium thickness materials without protruding on the opposite side when working with nuts or inserts.
• Countersunk Head: designed to be flush with the surface once tightened, very useful in assemblies where aesthetics and aerodynamics matter.
• Pack of 10 Units: a practical quantity to have in the workshop to tackle various projects without running short.

Applications in the Hobby

The M2 metric is one of the most common in the preparation and tuning of slot cars, especially in chassis assembly, motor mount fixation, body anchoring, and adjustment of mechanical subassemblies. It is also common in the construction of static aviation models, armoured vehicles, and automotive models, as well as in the fixation of structural elements in dioramas.

• Assembly and tuning of slot car chassis.
• Fixation of mounts, supports, and mechanical elements.
• Construction of static models in various scales.
• Assembly of structures in dioramas and figure bases.
• Any modelling work that requires a clean and flush fastening.

Recommended Assembly and Tools

To properly thread a DIN 963 countersunk M2 screw, it is recommended to use a precision screwdriver with a flat tip of the appropriate width for the slot size. Apply a moderate torque: the M2 metric has little tolerance for excess force, especially in materials such as aluminium, technical plastic, or resin. When working with nuts, standard M2 nuts are the direct complement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does DIN 963 mean?

DIN 963 is the German standard (Deutsche Industrie Norm) that defines countersunk screws with a straight slot. It is an internationally recognised standard that ensures uniform dimensions and tolerances, facilitating interchangeability between manufacturers.

What is the difference between a countersunk screw and a cylindrical head screw?

The countersunk screw has a head shaped like a truncated cone, designed to be flush with the surface when housed in a countersunk hole. The cylindrical head screw (such as DIN 912 or DIN 7984) protrudes above the surface. In assemblies where space or aesthetics are priorities, the countersunk option is the usual choice.

What materials is this screw compatible with?

It can be used with any material that allows M2 threading: aluminium, brass, steel, technical plastic (as long as it is sufficiently rigid), or with nuts and threaded inserts. We do not specify the manufacturing material of the screw beyond what is indicated in the reference, so we recommend consulting the official technical data sheet if you need that specific information.

Are they suitable for slot car bodies?

Yes, as long as the body and chassis have the corresponding countersunk recesses for the M2 pitch. Its flush head makes them particularly practical for this type of fastening.

Can I combine them with standard M2 nuts?

Yes. M2 hex nuts conforming to DIN 934 or equivalents are the natural complement for these screws when there is no female thread cut into the part.

The DIN 963 M2x14 countersunk slotted screw (ref. CXM365) is a must-have in any precision hobby workshop. Whether you are building a slot car chassis, assembling a static scale model, or working on a diorama, this metric M2 screw with flush-fit countersunk head delivers clean, reliable fastenings. Supplied in a pack of 10 units, it suits slot car preparation, model kits, and miniature diorama construction. Standard DIN 963 specification ensures consistent quality and interchangeability across projects.
