INSERTED THREAD SERVICES
Our inserted thread services provide durable, high-strength threaded holes in metal and plastic components — ideal for applications where frequent assembly, disassembly, or heavy loads are expected. We install a range of threaded inserts including Helicoils, key-locking inserts, and custom solutions to restore damaged threads or reinforce new ones.
Whether you're repairing stripped threads or improving the reliability of tapped holes in soft or thin materials, our CNC-guided process ensures precision alignment and secure installation. From prototypes to production runs, we tailor each job to your exact requirements — saving time, reducing rework, and improving product longevity.
WHY CHOOSE US FOR INSERTED THREADS?
We specialise in delivering strong, wear-resistant threads that hold up under repeated use and mechanical stress. Our skilled technicians use precision tooling and controlled torque to ensure every insert is correctly aligned, flush, and load-bearing.
Whether you need thread repair, reinforcement, or insert installation as part of a larger machining project, we offer fast turnaround, flexible solutions, and high-quality results — every time.
“We had a batch of aluminium parts that needed thread inserts for repeated assembly, and the team got it done perfectly. Clean installs, no damage, and everything was delivered faster than expected. Quality service all the way.”
— Helen K., Production Manager.
