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.
This guide breaks down aluminium vs stainless steel to help you make a confident, cost-effective material choice.
In the world of CNC machining, precision is paramount. One key aspect of achieving precision is specifying tolerances. Tolerances define the allowable variation in dimensions for a given part. In this blog post, we will explore what tolerances are, why they matter in CNC machining and how to effectively specify them for optimal results.
