Tapping
Precision tapping and thread-forming for stamped and machined components requiring internal threads.

Overview
Tapping cuts or forms internal threads into stamped or machined metal parts so they can accept a mating screw or bolt. It is applied where a part's function requires a threaded connection rather than a separate fastener component, and is coordinated with stamping and assembly processes. Thread specification, depth and tolerance are confirmed against the part drawing and applicable thread standard.
Advantages
- Integrated with in-house stamping and assembly
- Thread specifications confirmed against drawing standards
- Suited to lock components and hardware parts requiring threaded features
Supported Materials
- Carbon steel
- Stainless steel
- Brass
Equipment & Process Range
Thread size range and applicable standards (metric or imperial) are confirmed per part drawing.
Specific equipment models, tonnage and unit counts are confirmed by engineering per project rather than published as general figures.
Workflow
Thread Specification Review
Thread size, pitch and standard are confirmed against the part drawing.
Tapping
Internal threads are cut or formed to specification.
Thread Gauging
Threads are checked with go/no-go gauges against the specified tolerance.
Quality Controls
- Go/no-go thread gauging
- Sampling inspection during production

Frequently Asked Questions
What file formats are accepted for a quote submission?
PDF, DWG, DXF, STEP, JPG and PNG files are accepted. Multiple files should be uploaded individually rather than as a compressed archive; each file must be 20MB or smaller.
What information do I need to provide for a metal stamping quote?
To request a quote, provide your part drawing (PDF, DWG, DXF or STEP), target quantity, material preference and any surface finish requirement. Submitting a drawing lets engineering confirm feasibility, tolerances and lead time for your specific part.
Can threaded features be added to stamped parts?
Yes, tapping is available for parts requiring internal threads, with thread size and standard confirmed against your drawing.
