CNC 4-Axis Machining S136 Mold Steel from VT machining delivers precision S136 Mold Steel parts made to your exact drawing. Four-axis machining adds a rotary axis for indexed or continuous machining around a part, with parameters tuned to S136 Mold Steel, which is mold-grade, polishable and hardenable.
CNC 4-Axis Machining Capability for S136 Mold Steel
- Mold-grade cleanliness
- Polishable to mirror finish
- Hardenable to 48–54 HRC
- Tolerance to ±0.005 mm
Machining S136 Mold Steel with CNC 4-Axis Machining
When machining S136 Mold Steel, machinability is pre-hardened or machined-then-hardened; polishes to high finish for molds. Our process plan reflects this so the finished part holds its tolerances without distortion or poor finish.
Documented parameters for S136 Mold Steel mean predictable cycle times and stable, repeatable results.
CNC 4-Axis Machining Quality & Inspection
Quality is built in, not inspected on. We monitor key features during the run and confirm them at final inspection, with CMM verification available for tight tolerances. We provide the inspection and traceability records your quality system requires.
Why S136 Mold Steel?
Customers select S136 Mold Steel for CNC 4-Axis Machining because it is mold-grade, polishable and hardenable. We handle grade verification and any required heat treatment or finishing.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Most S136 Mold Steel parts need some finishing, which we manage in-house or through vetted partners. Options include deburring and edge-breaking, heat treatment, surface grinding, polishing, and plating or anodising for corrosion resistance and appearance. Give us the finished-part requirement and we will sequence every operation correctly.
Design Tips for CNC 4-Axis Machining S136 Mold Steel
Small design adjustments often cut cost and lead time. Generous internal radii, sensible pocket depth-to-width ratios and avoiding very thin unsupported walls all reduce cost and improve accuracy in S136 Mold Steel. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
CNC 4-Axis Machining Tolerances & Surface Finish
For CNC 4-Axis Machining, dimensional and positional tolerances around ±0.01 mm are routine, tightening toward ±0.005 mm on precision setups. Surface finish on machined faces typically falls in the Ra 0.4–1.6 µm range depending on tooling and pass strategy.
Exact achievable figures depend on the alloy, the feature size and the part geometry. Tell us which dimensions are critical and we will advise feasibility up front.
Applications of CNC 4-Axis Machining S136 Mold Steel
S136 Mold Steel parts made this way are found throughout aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics and industrial equipment. Prototype, bridge and production volumes are all welcome.
