In this episode of Cutting Corners with Jim and Jake, we talk about what you need to know about tapping, threading, and making sure your holes are drilled to the right size.

We break down drill charts, explain why 70% thread engagement is the sweet spot, and go over common mistakes—like tapping in stainless steel and the challenges of thin materials. Plus, we’ve got alternative solutions like PEM Hardware, Helicoils, and Rivnuts for when traditional threading just won’t cut it.

At SendCutSend, we take the calculations out of tapping. Just drop in your hole, and we’ll automatically adjust it for perfect thread engagement.
