CNC Drilling 304 Stainless Steel

CNC Drilling 304 Stainless Steel from VT machining delivers precision 304 Stainless Steel parts made to your exact drawing. Programmed drilling produces accurately positioned holes, including deep and pattern hole arrays, with parameters tuned to 304 Stainless Steel, which is corrosion resistant, strong and hygienic.

CNC Drilling Capability for 304 Stainless Steel

  • Austenitic/martensitic grades
  • Corrosion resistant
  • Tolerance to ±0.01 mm
  • Typical hardness 70–200 HB (annealed)

Machining 304 Stainless Steel with CNC Drilling

The machinability of 304 Stainless Steel is moderate; work-hardens, so positive-rake tooling and steady feeds are used to avoid glazing. For CNC Drilling we select tooling, feeds, speeds and coolant to match, keeping the 304 Stainless Steel workpiece stable and the result accurate.

Because we machine 304 Stainless Steel regularly, proven settings shorten setup and keep quality repeatable across reorders.

CNC Drilling Quality & Inspection

Consistent quality comes from disciplined process control. Critical dimensions on 304 Stainless Steel parts are checked in-process and verified at final inspection using calibrated instruments and, where required, CMM measurement. Full documentation — dimensional reports, mill certs, FAIR — is available when your programme needs it.

Secondary Operations & Finishing

We complete 304 Stainless Steel components with the secondary steps your drawing calls for. We arrange heat treatment, surface treatment, marking and assembly as needed. Tell us the final spec and we will plan the full route so parts arrive ready to use.

CNC Drilling Tolerances & Surface Finish

For CNC Drilling, 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.

The tightest tolerances are reserved for the features your drawing flags as critical. Share your tolerance scheme and we will confirm what is realistic before quoting.

Why 304 Stainless Steel?

Specifying 304 Stainless Steel for CNC Drilling 304 Stainless Steel is usually about its properties: corrosion resistant, strong and hygienic. Tell us the condition you need and we machine to it.

Design Tips for CNC Drilling 304 Stainless Steel

A few design choices make a real difference to cost and quality. Generous internal radii, sensible pocket depth-to-width ratios and avoiding very thin unsupported walls all reduce cost and improve accuracy in 304 Stainless Steel. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.

Applications of CNC Drilling 304 Stainless Steel

CNC Drilling of 304 Stainless Steel supports parts across aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics, semiconductor, energy and general industrial sectors. We scale from one-off prototypes to ongoing production while holding the same quality.
