I want to add a new outlet in my wood floor. The problem is I want the cover plate to be perfectly flush with the floor. Now I have the skills to inset a cover plate into the floor but I can't find a receptacle that has a flat cover plate that will fit flush with the floor. Any suggestions on a brand name or where to look. I have tried the usual search engines.
Thanks George

Do you think
this one might be as you want? Raco makes several other types, but most of the ones I've used (2 styles) aren't perfectly flush.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

Floor outlets are pricey and can be a pain to do.

The search is "commercial floor electric outlet".

I like this one; I think it will remain debris-free longer:
