Custom Self-Tapping & Self-Drilling Screws

High-performance thread-cutting fasteners engineered for metal and plastic assemblies. We deliver custom thread profiles with 10-day rapid prototyping to optimize your production line.

Product Introduction

Industry pain points and background

Assembly efficiency is critical in modern manufacturing. Pre-drilling and pre-tapping holes slow down production, require additional tooling, and increase labor costs. Furthermore, mismatched threads in delicate plastics often lead to boss cracking and rejected parts. You need self-tapping and self-drilling fastening solutions that bite directly into substrates to create strong, vibration-resistant mating threads in a single, high-speed operation.

Core Product Details

Guanbiao manufactures ultra-high precision set screws (also known as grub screws) designed for critical fastening, locating, and aligning applications. Using advanced precision thread rolling and CNC machining, we produce screws with flawless thread pitch and strict 0.05mm tolerances. Whether you need cup points for maximum shaft grip, flat points for frequent resetting without marring, or custom dog points for permanent locating in keyways, we deliver custom fastening solutions engineered to lock your most demanding assemblies securely in place.

Why Choose Us

Advantage 1

Material-Specific Thread Engineering We analyze your substrate to calculate the perfect thread pitch and angle, preventing plastic cracking or metal stripping in your specific application.

Advantage 2

Advanced Case Hardening Control Our heat treatment protocols ensure the cutting point is hard enough to pierce steel effortlessly, while the core remains tough enough to absorb vibration.

Advantage 3

10-Day Agile Prototyping Supported by our in-house tooling workshop, we deliver custom thread profile samples in just 10 days for your assembly validation.

Advantage 4

100% Automated Quality Control Using optical sorting, we guarantee thread sharpness and zero deformed points, ensuring your automated assembly lines run without jamming.

Featured Projects

Typical Self-Tapping Fastening Applications

Project 1

● Project Name: Consumer Electronics Plastic Assembly

FAQ

Thread-forming works best for softer thermoplastics, while thread-cutting is ideal for hard, brittle plastics to prevent cracking. We can help you choose the best option.

Standard 304/316 is generally too soft for thick steel. We recommend 410 stainless steel or bi-metal screws with carbon steel cutting points.

Yes. We offer flexible MOQs to help you test different thread profiles before mass production.

Absolutely. We can supply EPDM or neoprene washers for leak-proof outdoor installations.
