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.

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.
