Where this design fits

Pin-retained mechanisms, routing features and application-specific locking arrangements.

What to include in the RFQ

State the intended retention method and load requirements; a cross hole alone does not establish secure retention.

Material and acceptance

Carbon steel, 10B21, SUS304/316, aluminum, copper/brass and titanium alloy requirements can be discussed. Suitability is specific to the part, grade and process.

Define material condition, coating, critical dimensions and required inspection records. A named product family does not imply a tested load, pressure or performance rating.

RELEVANT PROCESS OPTIONS

Make the features work together.

These routes are options for technical review. The approved drawing, quantity and material determine the actual sequence.

Useful technical reading

Drawing and sample checks

Locate the cross-hole from the functional axis and face
Check the internal intersection and pin or passage clearance.

Hole position and intersecting edges

Specify hole diameter and its axial and angular position from a functional datum. Explain whether it takes a pin, locking wire or a flow passage. Inspect the intersection and edge condition as required; an external hole entrance does not establish that the internal exit is free of a harmful burr.

Review the route before fixing the quotation

For cross-drilled & head-hole screws, review Secondary & Precision Operations, Swiss-Type & CNC Turning, Cleaning, Locking & Assembly against the drawing and quantity. Identify which features can be produced in the initial shape and which require a separate setup. A change to a functional shoulder, bore, drive or thread can change the proposed route as well as the inspection effort.

The drawing review should resolve hole position; edge condition; functional interface. Keep material condition and finishing allowance attached to those requirements. Define the acceptance condition for critical features and approve any proposed dimensional change before comparing samples with the original assembly.

From drawing to approved samples

State the intended retention method and load requirements; a cross hole alone does not establish secure retention. Identify the drawing revision, prototype quantity and expected repeat demand. Where the first part is based on an existing sample, separately confirm material and hidden features rather than inferring them from appearance.

The typical sampling lead time, including tooling, is approximately 10–15 days. The schedule is confirmed after drawing review and agreement on the sample specification; material availability, special treatment and inspection requirements can affect the confirmed date. Confirm when the agreed schedule starts in the quotation. Sample approval and repeat-production delivery are separate milestones.
