VT machining offers CNC 4-Axis Machining for S136 Mold Steel (Uddeholm S136 / ~420 mod / 1.2083), typically supplied annealed or hardened. Stainless mold steel for corrosive resins and mirror finish.
CNC 4-Axis Machining Notes for S136 Mold Steel
Multi-axis machining lets S136 Mold Steel parts be completed in one or two setups, which improves feature-to-feature accuracy.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of S136 Mold Steel weighs about 0.78 kg.

What surface finish is achievable on S136 Mold Steel with CNC 4-Axis Machining?
Surface finish on S136 Mold Steel is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
Does CNC 4-Axis Machining S136 Mold Steel require dedicated tooling?
Most S136 Mold Steel machining work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC 4-Axis Machining S136 Mold Steel?
Achievable tolerances for S136 Mold Steel machining depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Milling holds positional and dimensional tolerances to around ±0.01 mm, tighter with precision setups. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
Can VT machining make custom S136 Mold Steel parts to my drawing?
Yes. S136 Mold Steel machining is made to order from your CAD/2D drawing. Share your geometry, material grade, tolerance and quantity and we will confirm feasibility, lead time and pricing.
