Custom Precision CNC Drilling Services

Our advanced computer-controlled drilling services deliver accurately positioned, consistently sized,

and perfectly straight holes in a wide range of materials for prototypes and production runs alike.

What is CNC Drilling?

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) drilling is a highly automated machining process where a rotating cutting tool, called a drill bit, is used to create cylindrical holes in a stationary workpiece. The process is governed by computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software, which provides precise instructions to the machine on the location, depth, diameter, and feed rate for each hole.

This automation ensures exceptional accuracy, repeatability, and efficiency, making it ideal for high-volume production and complex, multi-hole patterns that would be time-consuming and error-prone if done manually.

Our CNC Drilling Capabilities

We provide a wide range of CNC drilling solutions to match different design requirements. Our shop is equipped with high-precision machines and skilled engineers to ensure accuracy, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

Rapid Prototyping

Speed to market is critical. Our rapid CNC drilling service allows you to quickly iterate and test designs, ensuring your part is functional and manufacturable before committing to large-scale production. We deliver high-quality drilled prototypes in days, not weeks.

Common Drilling Shape Options

While the primary output is a cylindrical hole, we can achieve various related features:

Standard Holes: Straight, through or blind holes of precise diameters.
Counterboring: Creating a stepped hole to allow a bolt head to sit flush below the surface.
Countersinking: Creating a conical-shaped opening at the top of a hole to accommodate flat-head screws.
Spotfacing: Machining a flat surface on a workpiece to provide a smooth seating for a washer or bolt head.
Tapping: Cutting internal threads within a drilled hole.

Types of CNC Drilling Machines

To achieve flexibility in manufacturing, we use multiple types of CNC drilling machines. Each is designed to handle specific applications and material requirements.

Upright CNC Drilling Machine

A vertical machine designed for medium-duty drilling tasks, commonly used in workshops for parts requiring standard hole depths and moderate precision.

Radial CNC Drilling Machine

Features a movable radial arm that allows drilling at multiple angles and off-center positions, making it ideal for large and irregular workpieces

Gang CNC Drilling Machine

Equipped with multiple drilling heads, this machine can perform several drilling operations in sequence without manual repositioning. It is highly efficient for repetitive, high-volume production.

Turret CNC Drilling Machine

Fitted with a rotating turret holding multiple tools, this machine enables fast tool changes and multiple drilling functions on a single workpiece, saving setup time

Deep Hole CNC Drilling Machine

Specialized equipment capable of drilling extremely deep and straight holes, commonly required in aerospace, oil & gas, and automotive engine manufacturing.

Micro CNC Drilling Machine

Used to create ultra-fine holes with micron-level accuracy, making it indispensable for medical devices, watches, and electronics manufacturing.

CNC Drilling Materials

We can machine both metals and plastics, offering flexibility across industries. Each material comes with unique advantages depending on the application.

Aluminum

Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to machine, aluminum is perfect for aerospace, automotive, and consumer electronics components that demand strength with low weight

Stainless Steel

Known for strength, toughness, and resistance to heat and corrosion, stainless steel is widely used for industrial machinery, kitchenware, and medical instruments.

Steel

Strong, durable, and versatile, steel is a cost-effective choice for automotive parts, structural supports, and industrial tools.

Brass

Easy to machine and corrosion-resistant, brass is excellent for electrical connectors, plumbing fittings, and decorative hardware due to its natural golden appearance.

Titanium

Lightweight yet extremely strong, titanium is biocompatible and often used in aerospace parts, implants, and high-performance automotive components

ABS

A cost-effective engineering plastic with toughness and good impact resistance, ABS is used in consumer electronics housings, enclosures, and prototypes.

Nylon

Strong, flexible, and wear-resistant, nylon is ideal for gears, bushings, and industrial components requiring low friction.

PEEK

A high-performance engineering thermoplastic with outstanding resistance to heat and chemicals. PEEK is often selected for aerospace, automotive, and medical device components.

Finishing Options For CNC Drilling

Drilled parts often require additional finishing for improved functionality, safety, or appearance. We provide several finishing services to enhance performance.

Deburring & Edge Breaking

We remove sharp, rough edges (burrs) left from drilling, creating smooth, safe, and functional edges for handling and assembly.

Bead Blasting

This process uses high-pressure air to propel abrasive media at the part’s surface, creating a uniform matte texture that hides tool marks and improves paint adhesion.

Anodizing

An electrochemical process primarily for aluminum that increases corrosion resistance, surface hardness, and allows for dyeing the part in various colors.

Powder Coating

A dry finishing process where electrostatically charged powder is applied to a part and then cured under heat to form a durable, protective, and attractive coating.
