VT machining offers CNC Drilling for 1117 Steel (UNS G11170), typically supplied cold-drawn. Resulfurised carburising steel; machines faster than 1018.
CNC Drilling Notes for 1117 Steel
1117 Steel drills cleanly; we choose point angle and peck depth by hole depth-to-diameter ratio and hold position to the drawing.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of 1117 Steel weighs about 0.79 kg.
