VT machining offers CNC Bending for H13 Tool Steel (UNS T20813 / 1.2344 / SKD61), typically supplied annealed or hardened. Hot-work steel with thermal-fatigue resistance.
CNC Bending Notes for H13 Tool Steel
CNC Bending is rarely the right route for H13 Tool Steel: in its usual condition (Annealed or hardened, ~230 HB annealed; 44-52 HRC hardened) it is not suited to this process. We normally recommend grinding, EDM or machining from bar instead — send the drawing and we will suggest the most economical method.
H13 Tool Steel bends to a tight inside radius (about 1× thickness) in this condition.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of H13 Tool Steel weighs about 0.78 kg.

Does CNC Bending H13 Tool Steel require dedicated tooling?
Most H13 Tool Steel forming work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
Why is H13 Tool Steel a good choice for CNC Bending?
H13 Tool Steel is wear-resistant and hardenable for tooling, which makes it well suited to CNC Bending. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished H13 Tool Steel forming part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
What is CNC Bending H13 Tool Steel and how is it done?
CNC Bending H13 Tool Steel refers to cNC bending forms sheet metal to precise angles using a programmed press brake and back-gauge. Applied to H13 Tool Steel — wear-resistant and hardenable for tooling — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Bending H13 Tool Steel?
Achievable tolerances for H13 Tool Steel forming depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. We hold tight, repeatable tolerances appropriate to the feature and material. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
