What is the standard lead-time for the Tapping Service?

The standard lead time for the Fabworks Tapping Service typically adds one extra day to the overall project timeline. When you include tapping as part of your order, you can expect a slight increase in processing time to accommodate this additional manufacturing step. However, Fabworks strives to maintain efficiency in their operations, so the impact on your overall lead time is minimal.

It's important to note that the shipping date provided during checkout is accurate and takes into account all extra services, including tapping. This means you don't need to manually calculate or estimate the additional time; Fabworks' system automatically factors in the tapping process when generating your estimated shipping date.

The one-day addition for tapping is generally consistent across different types of materials and tap sizes. However, it's worth keeping in mind that more complex projects or larger orders might occasionally require slightly more time. If you have a particularly time-sensitive project, it's always a good idea to communicate with Fabworks' customer service team. They can provide more specific information about your order's timeline and may be able to offer expedited options if necessary.

By adding just one day to the lead time, Fabworks ensures that your parts receive the precise threading you need without significantly delaying your project. This balance of quality and efficiency is part of what makes Fabworks a reliable choice for sheet metal fabrication services.
