CNC Centerless Grinding S136 Mold Steel from VT machining delivers precision S136 Mold Steel parts made to your exact drawing. Centerless grinding supports the workpiece on a blade between wheels for high-throughput OD finishing, with parameters tuned to S136 Mold Steel, which is mold-grade, polishable and hardenable.
CNC Centerless Grinding 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 Centerless Grinding
S136 Mold Steel behaves predictably under CNC Centerless Grinding once parameters are dialled in: machinability is pre-hardened or machined-then-hardened; polishes to high finish for molds, and we tune the operation accordingly.
We hold reference parameters for this grade, so repeat orders of S136 Mold Steel run consistently from one batch to the next.
CNC Centerless Grinding Tolerances & Surface Finish
Ground S136 Mold Steel reaches single-micron tolerances on size, flatness and parallelism, with surface finishes down to Ra 0.1–0.4 µm — and a near-mirror finish on suitable alloys.
Final tolerances are governed by the material's behaviour, wall thickness and overall stiffness. We give honest DFM feedback if a callout would be costly or better achieved another way.
Why S136 Mold Steel?
S136 Mold Steel is chosen when a part needs what this grade offers — it is mold-grade, polishable and hardenable. We confirm the grade and any temper or heat-treat condition with you before machining.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished S136 Mold Steel parts can move straight into secondary operations under one roof. Typical add-ons are deburring, passivation, anodising, plating, blasting, polishing and laser marking. We coordinate the whole chain so you receive complete, inspection-ready parts.
CNC Centerless Grinding Quality & Inspection
We control quality throughout the process, not just at the end. In-process checks plus final inspection — including CMM where specified — keep every S136 Mold Steel part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
Design Tips for CNC Centerless Grinding S136 Mold Steel
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Allowing adequate grind stock, specifying realistic flatness over the true datum, and relieving corners help us hit tight tolerances on S136 Mold Steel efficiently. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
