CNC EDM Drilling D3 Tool Steel

VT machining specialises in CNC EDM Drilling D3 Tool Steel. Because D3 Tool Steel is wear-resistant and hardenable for tooling, and its machinability is machined in the annealed state, then hardened; carbide tooling preferred, we plan each job around the grade to protect accuracy and surface quality.

CNC EDM Drilling Capability for D3 Tool Steel

• Air/oil/water-hardening grades
• High wear resistance
• Hardenable to 58–64 HRC
• Tolerance to ±0.005 mm

Machining D3 Tool Steel with CNC EDM Drilling

The machinability of D3 Tool Steel is machined in the annealed state, then hardened; carbide tooling preferred. For CNC EDM Drilling we select tooling, feeds, speeds and coolant to match, keeping the D3 Tool Steel workpiece stable and the result accurate.

Because we machine D3 Tool Steel regularly, proven settings shorten setup and keep quality repeatable across reorders.

CNC EDM Drilling Tolerances & Surface Finish

EDM holds tolerances to roughly ±0.002–0.005 mm with no cutting force on the D3 Tool Steel part, producing fine, controlled surface textures and sharp internal corners impossible to mill.

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.

CNC EDM Drilling Quality & Inspection

Consistent quality comes from disciplined process control. Critical dimensions on D3 Tool 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.

Design Tips for CNC EDM Drilling D3 Tool Steel

A few design choices make a real difference to cost and quality. EDM suits sharp internal corners, thin ribs and hardened D3 Tool 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.

Secondary Operations & Finishing

We complete D3 Tool 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.

Why D3 Tool Steel?

Specifying D3 Tool Steel for CNC EDM Drilling D3 Tool Steel is usually about its properties: wear-resistant and hardenable for tooling. Tell us the condition you need and we machine to it.
