CUSTOM PARTS / HOLE MACHINING
CNC Drilling ServicesFrom hole patterns
to assembly-ready parts.
Custom drilled metal and plastic components for prototypes and production. Bring your hole sizes, locations and thread requirements, we’ll review the machining route, finishing and inspection with your drawing.

THE RIGHT OPERATION FOR THE FEATURE
More than making
a hole.
Start with the finished feature. Drilling creates the hole; threads, precision fits and fastener seats can require additional operations.
Through & blind holes
Single holes, repeated patterns and intersecting features in custom components. Define location from the part’s functional datums.
- Specify
- Diameter, depth, quantity, position and acceptable breakthrough.
Drilling & tapping
Create a pilot hole, then cut or form the specified internal thread. Drilling alone does not produce a thread.
- Specify
- Thread standard, size, pitch, class and full thread depth.
Reaming & boring
A secondary sizing operation may be needed for a close-fitting pin, shaft or bearing interface. The route depends on the feature.
- Specify
- Fit, diameter tolerance, surface finish and inspection needs.
Counterbores & countersinks
Provide a recessed fastener seat or conical entry where the assembly requires it. Identify which side of the component is machined.
- Specify
- Recess diameter and depth, or countersink angle and diameter.
Send the diameter, depth, material and hole-axis requirements. Tool access, chip evacuation and inspection determine feasibility; no single depth-to-diameter limit covers every part.
CUSTOM COMPONENTS
Holes that connect.
Features that locate.
Specify the assembly function so the manufacturing review can focus on the right surfaces, datums and finishing sequence.
Flanges & mounting plates
Bolt circles and clearance holes: call out the hole pattern, datum references and mating-face requirements.
Housings & fixture blocks
Mounting holes, pin locations and intersecting passages: identify critical fits, burr-sensitive intersections and inspection access.
Fittings & threaded components
Threaded ports and fastening features: define the thread, sealing interface and usable depth separately.

MATERIALS & FINAL CONDITION
CNC metal drilling.
Plastic parts, too.
The existing service covers aluminum, stainless steel, brass, titanium, copper and plastics. Include the exact grade and condition with your enquiry.
Aluminum
Specify alloy and temper. Thin walls, intersecting holes and coating allowance need to be reviewed with the finished part.
Steel & stainless steel
Specify grade and hardness or heat-treatment condition. Deeper holes and small diameters need a material-specific tool and chip-control plan.
Brass, copper & titanium
Identify the exact alloy and application. Burr control, tool access and the required final surface affect the process route.
Engineering plastics
ABS, PC, acrylic and PTFE are listed on the existing service page. Include the polymer grade and critical dimensions for stability and edge-quality review.
DRAWING & QUALITY
Define the hole.
Preserve the fit.
Diameter alone is not a complete specification. Separate hole size, location, depth and thread engagement to make the drawing review useful.
Make the critical details explicit.
- Location: hole axes, datum references, pattern and positional tolerances.
- Depth: through or blind, full-diameter depth, drill-point clearance and breakthrough restrictions.
- Threads: standard, pitch, class and usable engagement; do not equate drill depth with thread depth.
- Edges & finish: entry chamfer, exit burr acceptance, intersecting-hole deburring and final condition.
Tolerances follow the drawing.
A drilled clearance hole and a precision locating bore have different requirements. Flag the features that control assembly so the quote can include the right sizing operations and inspection scope.
Agree acceptance before production.
Request dimensional reports, material documentation and any thread-gauging requirements with your enquiry. Feasibility depends on geometry, material, tool reach and measurement access.
FROM FILES TO FINISHED PARTS
A clearer drawing.
A more useful quote.
Request custom CNC drilling quotes with the model and the manufacturing requirements together.
Share your design
Send a STEP model and dimensioned PDF, material grade, quantity, drawing revision and requested delivery date.
Review the hole features
Resolve hole depth, threads, fits, finishing and inspection needs. Confirm feasibility, price and delivery for the reviewed scope.
Confirm your order
Approve the drawing revision and agreed requirements. Production, inspection and shipment follow the confirmed order.
Do you provide CNC drilling and tapping services?
Submit drilled and threaded features together for review. Drilling creates the pilot hole; tapping or another threading operation produces the internal thread. Include the thread standard, size, pitch, class and usable thread depth.
Can drilling, milling and turning be combined on one part?
Yes, send the complete component for a machining-route review. A part may need drilling alongside milled pockets, profiles or turned surfaces. Geometry and datum requirements determine the setup and operation sequence.
What hole tolerances can you achieve?
Requested tolerances are reviewed against the drawing, material, depth and geometry. Close-fitting holes may require reaming or boring after drilling. Specify size and location tolerances separately; a general accuracy figure is not a guarantee for every hole.
Can you drill deep holes or very small holes?
Send the hole diameter, depth, material, straightness and inspection requirements. Tool access, cooling and chip evacuation affect feasibility. Specialized deep-hole or micro-hole requirements need a separate review.
Which metals and plastics can I request?
The current service page lists aluminum, stainless steel, brass, titanium, copper, acrylic, PC, ABS and PTFE. Specify the exact grade and condition; stock availability and the machining route are confirmed with the quote.
What affects CNC drilling cost and lead time?
Material, hole count, diameter and depth, setup access, threads, finishing, quantity and inspection requirements affect the quote. Send the model and dimensioned drawing for a project-specific price and delivery review.
What files should I upload for a drilling quote?
Send a STEP model and a dimensioned PDF. Include material grade and condition, quantity, revision, critical hole and thread details, finish, inspection needs and requested delivery date. An NDA can be arranged before sharing confidential files.
