Need reliable CNC EDM Drilling 1060 Steel? VT machining machines 1060 Steel to tight tolerances and consistent quality. As a material, 1060 Steel is strong, economical and widely available; we adapt feeds, speeds and tooling to suit.
CNC EDM Drilling Capability for 1060 Steel
- Carbon/low-alloy grades
- Economical & weldable
- Tolerance to ±0.02 mm
- Hardenable by heat treat
Machining 1060 Steel with CNC EDM Drilling
1060 Steel behaves predictably under CNC EDM Drilling once parameters are dialled in: machinability is good to excellent depending on carbon content; free-machining grades cut cleanly, and we tune the operation accordingly.
We hold reference parameters for this grade, so repeat orders of 1060 Steel run consistently from one batch to the next.
Why 1060 Steel?
1060 Steel is chosen when a part needs what this grade offers — it is strong, economical and widely available. We confirm the grade and any temper or heat-treat condition with you before machining.
CNC EDM 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 1060 Steel part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished 1060 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 EDM Drilling 1060 Steel
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. EDM suits sharp internal corners, thin ribs and hardened 1060 Steel that cannot be milled; allowing a small corner radius where possible speeds the cut. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
CNC EDM Drilling Tolerances & Surface Finish
EDM holds tolerances to roughly ±0.002–0.005 mm with no cutting force on the 1060 Steel part, producing fine, controlled surface textures and sharp internal corners impossible to mill.
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.
Applications of CNC EDM Drilling 1060 Steel
Customers order CNC EDM Drilling 1060 Steel components for everything from instrumentation to structural and functional assemblies. Whether you need a single prototype or recurring production volume, the same process discipline applies.

Request a QuoteFrequently Asked Questions
What surface finish is achievable on 1060 Steel with CNC EDM Drilling?
Surface finish on 1060 Steel is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
What material thickness or size range suits CNC EDM Drilling 1060 Steel?
We machine 1060 Steel across a broad size range; share your part envelope for confirmation.
Can you EDM-machine hardened 1060 Steel?
Yes. EDM removes material by electrical discharge rather than cutting force, so hardened and difficult 1060 Steel can be machined to fine detail and tight tolerance without distortion.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC EDM Drilling 1060 Steel?
CNC EDM Drilling prototypes for 1060 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 EDM Drilling 1060 Steel?
Achievable tolerances for 1060 Steel EDM machining depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. EDM holds tolerances to around ±0.002 mm with no cutting force on the part. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
