What type of screw is this? - sroxberg - 09-11-2020
It has a very flat head, like a pan head but the top is flat, and very thin. Probably metric because the parts lists calls it a m27-1.5 inches long. The point if flat.
The screw is to hold a slider metal bar on a porch swing into an upright made out of Trex.
Any name so I can source some?
4 or 5 mm hex drive, not that it matters.

Not sure about the name but I would look up deck screws

The head type could be listed as truss or wafer. Socket drive.

Cap-Tor (maybe)

Looks like a pocket hole screw to my non-expert eye. Check McFeeley's

Might be a button head screw. Closest I've come is here: https://shopee.com.my/M5-M6-Button-Head-Socket-Cap-Self-Tapping-Screws-Hex-Drive-A2-304-stainless-stee-i.99653432.1695973761

The threads look very similar to those used for particle board or MDF. Closest I can come up with a a truss head deck screw.

That’s my impression. A thick wafer head screw, for particle board.
