Reliable and Accurate Fastening Solutions

Threading is an essential machining process used to create precise screw-like grooves on cylindrical components. These threads allow for secure fastening, ensuring proper assembly and long-term reliability in mechanical and structural applications.

At Houston Centerless, we specialize in precision threading for external (OD) and internal (ID) surfaces, ensuring that every thread is cut with accuracy, consistency, and durability. Whether you need standard or custom thread profiles, our state-of-the-art equipment and experienced machinists deliver high-quality results tailored to your application.

Understanding OD/ID Threading

Threading is the process of machining helical grooves onto a cylindrical surface, allowing components to interlock for fastening. The threads can be cut on either the outer diameter (OD) or inner diameter (ID) of a workpiece.

• Outer Diameter (OD) Threading: Threads are machined on the external surface of a component, allowing it to be screwed into nuts, fittings, or internally threaded parts.
• Inner Diameter (ID) Threading: Internal threads are cut inside hollow components, enabling them to accept externally threaded fasteners such as bolts and studs.

Key Benefits of Precision Threading:

• Ensures strong and secure fastening for mechanical assemblies
• Provides consistent thread profiles for smooth engagement
• Supports custom thread configurations for specialized applications
• Enhances durability and wear resistance in high-stress environments

With our advanced machining capabilities, every thread is produced to exact specifications, ensuring perfect fit, smooth operation, and long-lasting performance.

Our Threading Capabilities

Houston Centerless offers a full range of threading services, delivering high-precision external and internal threading for various industries.

1. External Threading (OD Threading)

Our OD threading services ensure accurate and uniform external threads, allowing components to securely fasten into corresponding internally threaded parts.

• Precision-cut threads for bolts, shafts, and studs
• Smooth, consistent threads for easy assembly
• Standard and custom thread sizes available

2. Internal Threading (ID Threading)

ID threading is critical for components that require secure internal fastening. Our advanced machining processes create high-precision internal grooves for seamless compatibility with external fasteners.

• Accurate bore diameters for tight-fitting connections
• Consistent thread depth and pitch for precise fastening
• Custom ID threading for unique applications

3. Custom Threading Solutions

We understand that not all projects require standard thread profiles. Our custom threading solutions allow us to create unique thread patterns for specialized industrial applications.

• Non-standard thread designs for specialized applications
• Multi-start threads for improved load distribution
• High-tolerance threading for precision applications

We work with a variety of materials, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, and industrial alloys, to ensure durable and reliable threaded components.
