Can SendCutSend provide partial depth cuts?
We provide partial depth cuts in CNC machined metal billet. For sheet and plate stock, we only provide 2D perpendicular full depth cutting.
We provide partial depth cuts in CNC machined metal billet. For sheet and plate stock, we only provide 2D perpendicular full depth cutting.
Our tapping, countersinking, and hardware insertion services can be added to the top or bottom face of sheet and plate material. We don’t offer drilling into the cut edge of sheet stock. With billet, we can CNC machine holes into any side of a part.
Can’t add a service like bending/forming, countersinking, tapping, hardware insertion, deburring, anodizing, plating, or powder coating to your part after uploading your file to our website and selecting a material? There are a number of reasons why this might be the case. View the full FAQ to learn more.
All tap sizes we offer are listed in the tap size chart on our tapping guidelines page. To confirm available tap sizes for the material thickness you need, check the material details and specifications in our Material Catalog.
SendCutSend does not offer counterboring at this time. We do provide countersinking, PEM hardware insertion, and tapping for eligible sheet metals and plastics.
If you want to request an unavailable tap size, first confirm whether we offer it in any material. You can see all of our tap sizes here: Thread/Tap Hole Size Chart If we do offer the tap size but you’re unable to add it to a part you want to order, that is typically
Bending, countersinking, and tapping services are performed before finishing services. Hardware is installed after anodizing and plating, but before powder coating. Parts with both hardware and powder coating services will have the hardware capped/plugged before being powder coated.
Designing the correct hole size when preparing for tapping is important. Holes that are too large may cause the tap to strip out or fail. If the hole is too small, it will cause the tap to bind, create excessive heat, wear, and could result in a broken tap trying to cut too much
We currently have a variety of sheet metal and plastic materials available for tapping. You can quickly confirm which materials are available for tapping at our Processing Maximums and Minimums page.
You can powder coat bent/formed and tapped parts. Please be aware that die witness marks from the press brake will be visible through the coating. Also, you will have to chase any tapped holes to clear the threads once you receive the parts.
Setup for tapping depends on whether you plan to order sheet parts or machined billet parts. For sheet and plate parts, we accept both vector and 3D file formats and we’ll resize holes up to 4.00″ to fit the tap size you choose. For machined billet parts, we accept STEP/STP files and require additional info before checkout to confirm the taps needed.
