CNC Fasteners
Custom CNC Nuts
Nuts machined on CNC equipment to customer specification in aluminium, brass, stainless steel and other materials. Machining rather than cold forming makes low and medium quantities practical and allows thread forms, widths across flats and profiles that no catalogue part offers.

Product Overview
Nuts machined on CNC equipment to customer specification in aluminium, brass, stainless steel and other materials. Machining rather than cold forming makes low and medium quantities practical and allows thread forms, widths across flats and profiles that no catalogue part offers. Parts are produced to international quality standards suitable for export markets.
Key Benefits
- Thread form, size and profile machined to your requirement
- Aluminium, brass and stainless steel to suit corrosion and strength needs
- Low and medium quantities practical without tooling cost
- Consistent thread fit across repeat batches
- Produced to standards appropriate for global markets
Problems It Solves
- Catalogue nuts that force a redesign of the joint
- Obsolete fastener sizes with no remaining stock
- Thread fit varying between suppliers and batches
- Material substitutions that fail in a corrosive environment
Where It Is Used
Applications And Buyers
Application Scenarios
- Special nuts for equipment where standard sizes do not fit
- Replacement nuts for obsolete machinery
- Assemblies that need a non standard width across flats
- Corrosion sensitive joints needing a specific material
Who It Is For
- Machine builders with non standard fastening requirements
- Maintenance teams supporting older equipment
- Product designers needing a particular nut profile
- Buyers sourcing fasteners alongside machined parts

How It Is Made And Checked
Materials Process And Quality Control
Materials
- Aluminium
- Brass
- Stainless steel
Manufacturing Process
- CNC turning
- Thread machining
Quality Control
- Specification agreed in writing before production starts
- First article or sample approved against the agreed specification
- Goods inspected and photographed at the factory before loading
- Inspection report sent to you before the container sails
Customisation Options
What Can Be Varied
- Thread form, pitch and class of fit
- Width across flats and overall height
- Material grade for strength or corrosion resistance
- Surface finish and coating
- Flange, nylon insert or other features as drawn
Compared With The Alternatives
| Standard DIN or ISO nuts | Standard nuts are far cheaper wherever they fit; machined nuts exist for the joints where they do not. |
|---|---|
| Cold formed nuts | Cold forming wins on price at very high volume but needs tooling; machining suits lower volumes and design changes. |
Use Guide
- State the mating thread as well as the nut specification so fit is checked against it
- Specify the coating, since plating affects thread clearance
- Confirm the required strength class if the joint is structural
- Send a sample where the original drawing no longer exists
Questions
Questions Buyers Ask About This Product
Can you make nuts to a non standard thread?
Yes, that is the usual reason to machine them rather than buy them. Send the thread specification or a sample.
Which materials are available?
Aluminium, brass, stainless steel and other materials on request.
Do you offer volume discounts?
Price per piece falls with quantity. Send the annual requirement as well as the immediate order and we will quote both.
Are the nuts suitable for export markets?
They are produced to international quality standards. Tell us the destination market at enquiry if specific compliance is required.
Can you copy an existing nut?
Yes, from a sample. We measure it, produce a drawing for approval and machine from that.
