Can you drill holes into the side of my parts?

Need holes drilled into the side of your parts? Just let us know which side you are referring to! Our tapping, countersinking, and hardware insertion services can be added to the top or bottom face of the material. You can choose which side you want the operation performed on at checkout.

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

Available tapping orientation. Part is being tapped on the top or bottom face of the sheet material, not the cut edge side.
Available countersinking orientation with best practice for depth. Part is being countersunk on the top or bottom face of the sheet material, not the cut edge side.
Recommended load direction for a nut installed into a bent part. The hardware is being installed into the top or bottom face of the sheet material – not the cut edge side.

Please note, hole operations and bending/forming services can be combined on the same parts. You can find more information about our guidelines here!
