Tapped Hole vs Threaded Hole: Comparing Methods
Threaded holes are a small but essential detail in CNC part design. If they’re not specified correctly, they can lead to fit issues, tool breakage, or even part failure during assembly.
You’ll learn how each threading method works, when to use them, and how to avoid common pitfalls. We’ll also touch on materials, tooling limitations, and how to clearly communicate your thread specs. Whether you're prototyping or placing a production order, this guide helps you get threads right the first time.
