CNC Drilling NAK80 Mold Steel

VT machining offers CNC Drilling for NAK80 Mold Steel (Daido NAK80 (pre-hardened)), typically supplied pre-hardened. Mirror-polishable pre-hardened steel with very uniform hardness.

CNC Drilling Notes for NAK80 Mold Steel

NAK80 Mold 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 NAK80 Mold Steel weighs about 0.78 kg.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Drilling NAK80 Mold Steel?

CNC Drilling prototypes for NAK80 Mold Steel can be produced quickly and scaled to series production. Send your drawing and quantity and we will advise lead time and any minimum order.

What tolerances can you hold for CNC Drilling NAK80 Mold Steel?

Achievable tolerances for NAK80 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.

Why is NAK80 Mold Steel a good choice for CNC Drilling?

NAK80 Mold Steel is mold-grade, polishable and hardenable, which makes it well suited to CNC Drilling. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished NAK80 Mold Steel machining part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.

Can VT machining make custom NAK80 Mold Steel parts to my drawing?

Yes. NAK80 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.
