We only offer 2D perpendicular through-cutting in flat sheet materials and cannot produce any partial depth cut options. Learn about the variety of services we offer on our service pages. Before uploading your file, be sure to check out our guideline pages to make sure your file is production-ready!
Our tapping, countersinking, and hardware insertion services can be added to the top or bottom face of the material. We’re unable to offer drilling into the side of a part if you are referring to the cut edge of the material.
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.
You can confirm available tap sizes for all our materials in a few ways. Here’s how! 1. Thread / Tap Size Chart Our design guidelines include a thread/hole chart showing all of our available sizes and the hole diameter required for each. Click here to get right to it! 2. Processing Minimum / Maximum
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.
Make sure holes are no larger than 0.500″ and are at least the minimum required distance away from adjacent cut features. Please note, we only tap holes perpendicular to the top or bottom surface of parts.
