OSH Cut offers metal thread tapping up to 1.5" in diameter, in steel, stainless, aluminum, copper, brass, and bronze.

Avoid the time, headache, and potential for broken taps by letting us cut threads in your part.
OSH Cut offers metal tapping in tap sizes ranging from 6-32 to 1 1/2-6 (standard) and M3 x 0.5 to M36 - 4.0 (Metric). Our equipment makes metal tapping fast and cost-effective.
Designing parts for precision bending can be complicated. In a bending process, radius, k-factor, and part geometry are limited by your shop's tooling and material. Finalizing a design often requires a lengthy back-and-forth with the shop, increasing costs and lead-times.
OSH Cut approaches bending differently. We publish all of our bending parameters (like k-factor and bend radius) in our material catalog so that you can get started with the right settings immediately. After you upload your design, our system automatically analyzes your parts and runs a bend simulation to detect possible manufacturability issues, like tooling collisions.
Pricing depends on part size and tap size. For common taps, pricing starts at less than $10for a single hole, with additional tapped holes costing as little as 10 cents each.
Most of the initial cost for tapping stems from setup and fixturing time for each part, so a part with many threaded holes costs much less for each hole beyond the first.L
arge tapped holes tend to cost more because of higher consumable costs.

We take all the custom metal parts in your order and "nest" them on sheet metal, to get the best material price. Other online metal cutting services don't offer nested pricing. Multi-part metal cutting jobs usually benefit greatly from nesting, so it's an important part of bidding on online laser cutting jobs. Be sure to log in and click "Continue" to get the final price of your metal parts.
Our standard lead-time is 2 business days for prototype and short-run laser cutting jobs, but there are options during checkout for lead-times as quick as same-day, depending on job size, material availability, and capacity. As a standard practice, we'll cut your job early when we can, regardless of the order size.
Unfortunately not. Our lead-time engine is tied closely to our production planning software, which monitors production capacity. During peak demand, we can't guarantee a faster lead even if your job is small.
We can't, but we often add materials based on customer demand. Please let us know if you have a special request by sending us an email to quote@oshcut.com.
We do! You can upload a 3D model of your sheet metal part in STEP or SolidWorks format, and our platform will automatically unfold your metal part to create a flat pattern and bend program. You can also upload a flat pattern and select bend lines if that's easier for you. Whatever method you use, you can watch a bend simulation that shows how your part will form on our equipment, alerting you of potential issues right away.
Our system automatically applies aggressive pricing discounts as your metal cutting and bending job increases in size. To get the best price, upload more parts or increase your order quantities. OSH Cut is most competitive for mid-to-large sheet metal fabrication jobs containing multiple custom metal parts, parts that benefit from nesting, and parts that include bending.
We currently offer shipping in the United States only. Shipping heavy sheet metal parts internationally is usually impractical, so there generally isn't significant demand. We may offer international shipping in the future, however.
Absolutely! Our lasers usually cut without leaving a burr, but you can select deburring to eliminate any potential burrs on thicker materials. Make sure that after you upload your part, you select deburring as an option. We can deburr your parts and optionally put a 240-grit linear grain on your parts. Not all parts have enough surface area to support deburring, but our system will let you know what is available after upload.
