Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our tool steel CNC machining services

What tool steel grades do you commonly machine?

We specialize in machining D2, A2, O1, S7, H13, and P20 tool steels. Each grade offers unique properties suited for specific applications. D2 provides excellent wear resistance, A2 offers good toughness, O1 achieves high hardness, S7 delivers impact resistance, H13 handles hot work applications, and P20 is ideal for plastic molds.

What tolerances can you achieve with tool steel machining?

We can achieve tolerances as tight as ±0.002″ (±0.05mm) for critical dimensions. Standard tolerances are typically ±0.005″ (±0.13mm). The achievable tolerance depends on part geometry, size, and specific tool steel grade. Our advanced CNC equipment and quality control systems ensure consistent precision.

Do you provide heat treatment services for tool steel parts?

Yes, we offer comprehensive heat treatment services including hardening, tempering, and stress relieving. Our certified heat treatment processes ensure optimal hardness and mechanical properties for each tool steel grade. We can achieve various hardness levels from 28 HRC to 66 HRC depending on the material and application requirements.

What is the typical lead time for tool steel machining projects?

Lead times vary based on complexity and quantity. Prototype parts typically require 3-5 days, while production runs take 7-15 days. Complex parts requiring EDM or extensive finishing may need additional time. Rush orders can be accommodated with expedited scheduling for urgent requirements.
