Express Metal Products offers a range of basic machining services for all types of materials.

Precision drilling

Tapping and threading

Tapping of through or blind holes in all standard ISO tap sizes is available with a tight turnaround. For more exotic applications, such as mismatched thread sizes or threading for custom machined bolts, mill threading is available within 5–10 working days.

Countersinking and counterboring

Countersunk versus counterbored holes, cross-section

Countersinking often improves the look of your parts and can also increase the strength of the joint made by your chosen fastener. Our counterboring service extends those benefits to hex and socket style fasteners.
