CNC Drilling Services | Precision Steel Drilling Specialists

Precise steel drilling services for a range of hole sizes, ranging from 3mm to 50mm.

Precision Steel Drilling with Fast Turnaround

At RMP, we offer precision CNC drilling services for components of all sizes and complexities, with hole diameters ranging from 3mm to 50mm. Our CNC machines operate using pre-programmed instructions to ensure every hole is drilled with exceptional precision, speed and consistency. This method of steel drilling is ideal for producing holes of varying sizes, depths and shapes and suits a wide range of industrial applications.

Providing CNC drilling services for both small and large-scale parts, we engineer to the tightest tolerances and fully compliant with the most demanding industry standards. With ISO 9001 and UKCA Execution Class 4 accreditation, we are trusted to deliver precision-drilled components for a range of industries across the UK.

This close-up photo focuses on a single, precisely machined hole within a thick metal plate. The bright, finely grooved surface inside the hole contrasts sharply with the darker, raw texture of the surrounding steel plate. This image highlights the detailed finishing work required to create components with exact dimensions for assembly.

This image highlights precision secondary machining operations on heavy-gauge steel plates. After being cut to shape, which includes a distinct side notch, these components have undergone drilling and countersinking. The multiple holes are perfectly aligned across the stack and feature a clear conical bevel (countersink) to accommodate flush-mount fasteners. The raw finish of the steel and the workshop setting underscore the industrial nature of the work, demonstrating a capability for producing large, batch-ordered parts that require multi-stage manufacturing.

This photo displays a thick, circular steel component that has undergone several CNC machining operations. The piece features a centrally located tapped (threaded) hole and a peripheral bolt circle consisting of multiple counterbored holes, which allow fastener heads to sit flush with or below the surface. The component is shown on a T-slot table, indicative of a CNC milling machine, highlighting the capability to perform complex drilling, tapping, and milling operations in a single setup to produce high-precision industrial parts.

Why Choose Our Steel Drilling Services?

With over 30 years of experience, our CNC drilling service is built on precision, speed and reliability, supported by advanced technology and a skilled team.

What is CNC Drilling?

CNC drilling is a process that uses computer-controlled drilling machines to create precise holes in metal or plastic workpieces according to CAD designs. Unlike manual drilling, CNC technology ensures consistent accuracy, repeatability and scalability across every project. This makes it essential for industries such as nuclear, rail and offshore energy, where exacting standards and error-free performance are critical.

CNC Drilling FAQs

What materials do you offer CNC drilling services for?

We specialise exclusively in steel drilling services. By focusing solely on mild steels, we ensure the highest levels of precision and efficiency across every CNC drilling project we undertake.

What is the maximum size component you can drill?

Our CNC drilling service can accommodate steel parts up to 1620mm x 810mm. Whether you need holes drilled in large steel plates or smaller components, our machines can handle a wide range of project sizes.

What types of holes can you drill with CNC machines?

Using our advanced CNC drilling machines, we can drill holes of various sizes, shapes and depths, including countersunk and tapped holes. We can drill into a blank profile or open up an existing hole to your required specifications.

How quickly can you turn around CNC drilling jobs?

We pride ourselves on delivering a fast and cost-effective CNC drilling service. Turnaround times depend on the complexity and size of the job, but our in-house capabilities mean we can often complete orders quicker than many general machine shops.

Are your CNC drilling services certified?

Yes, we are ISO 9001 accredited and hold CE Execution Class 4 certification, ensuring that all our steel drilling services meet the highest standards for quality and safety in the industry.
