Need holes drilled into the side of your parts? We may be able to accommodate your design depending on the cutting method we use for the material you need.
Hole orientation for laser cut, waterjet cut, and CNC routed sheet and plate
Sheet and plate materials cut with one of our 2D cut methods (laser cutting, waterjet cutting, and CNC routing) are eligible for tapping, countersinking, and hardware insertion.
Our hole operation services can be added to the top or bottom face of sheet and plate stock. You can choose which side you want the service performed on before checkout.
In our instant pricing system’s Add Services step, hover over the up and down arrows to see a tooltip explaining what up versus down orientation means for the selected service.

We’re unable to offer drilling into the side of a sheet or plate part if you are referring to the cut edge.
