Tapping

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

Applications for Tapping
Threaded Assembly Points
Add precise threads to parts so fasteners can be installed quickly during assembly.
Mounting Hole Preparation
Prepare components with threaded holes for secure installation into larger systems or structures.
Machine Component Threading
Ensure consistent, high-quality threads for parts used in mechanical or industrial equipment.

Why OSH Cut for

Tapping

Thread Pricing

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.

Select Tapping After Upload

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.

Save Time and Headache

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.
