CNC Drilling Spring Steel

CNC Drilling Spring Steel from VT machining delivers precision Spring Steel parts produced to your exact drawing. Programmed drilling produces accurately positioned holes, including deep and pattern hole arrays, and we tune every parameter to the behaviour of Spring Steel, which is high yield strength and elastic recovery.

CNC Drilling Capability for Spring Steel

• Hole position ±0.05 mm
• Depth-to-diameter to 10:1+
• Peck and through-coolant cycles
• Spot, drill, ream sequencing

How CNC Drilling Spring Steel Works

Rotating multi-flute cutters remove material as the Spring Steel workpiece is driven through programmed tool paths on 3-, 4- or 5-axis machining centres. Climb milling, step-over and depth-of-cut are set so chip load stays in the ideal band for the alloy.

Programming is driven directly by your 3D model or print. Work-holding, tool selection and the cutting strategy are planned around the critical features and the material before the first chip is cut. First-off inspection confirms the process is centred before production continues.

Secondary Operations & Finishing

Finished Spring 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.

Design Tips for CNC Drilling Spring Steel

We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Generous internal radii, sensible pocket depth-to-width ratios and avoiding very thin unsupported walls all reduce cost and improve accuracy in Spring Steel. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.

Working with Spring Steel

As a material, Spring Steel is high yield strength and elastic recovery. Our setup reflects the alloy's machinability so the finished part is accurate and free of avoidable defects.

We verify the exact grade and condition before machining, and traceable mill certs are available on request. We can work to your nominated material source or specification when required.

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.

Exact achievable figures depend on the alloy, the feature size and the part geometry. Tell us which dimensions are critical and we will advise feasibility up front.

CNC Drilling 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 Spring Steel part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
