At Royce Onsite Machining, we specialise in restoring damaged or stripped threads in metal components such as engine blocks, machine housings, and mechanical assemblies. Our specialised team provides precision drilling and reaming services to prepare damaged areas for durable thread repairs — all carried out conveniently onsite or in our fully equipped workshop.
Drilling
Purpose: Removes damaged threads or enlarges the hole to the correct size for installing a thread insert.
Process: Using precision drill bits, our technicians carefully remove damaged material to create a clean, round hole while preserving the integrity of the surrounding metal.
Reaming
Purpose: Ensures the drilled hole is perfectly round, smooth, and meets the exact diameter requirements.
Process: After drilling, a reamer is used to finely refine the hole, providing an ideal surface and size for installing new thread inserts.
Thread Repair Options
- Heli-Coil® Inserts: Widely used for restoring standard internal threads with reliable, cost-effective solutions.
- Time-Sert® or Keensert® Inserts: Heavy-duty inserts designed for high-strength applications and demanding environments.
- Custom Tap and Die Work: Precision cutting of new threads to match original specifications or specialised threading requirements.
