CNC EDM Drilling S136 Mold Steel is part of VT machining's grade-specific capability. S136 Mold Steel is mold-grade, polishable and hardenable, and we combine controlled EDM machining with material-aware setup to produce parts that meet your specification.
CNC EDM Drilling Capability for S136 Mold Steel
- Mold-grade cleanliness
- Polishable to mirror finish
- Hardenable to 48–54 HRC
- Tolerance to ±0.005 mm
Machining S136 Mold Steel with CNC EDM Drilling
The machinability of S136 Mold Steel is pre-hardened or machined-then-hardened; polishes to high finish for molds. For CNC EDM Drilling we select tooling, feeds, speeds and coolant to match, keeping the S136 Mold Steel workpiece stable and the result accurate.
Because we machine S136 Mold Steel regularly, proven settings shorten setup and keep quality repeatable across reorders.
Design Tips for CNC EDM Drilling S136 Mold Steel
A few design choices make a real difference to cost and quality. EDM suits sharp internal corners, thin ribs and hardened S136 Mold 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 S136 Mold 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 S136 Mold Steel?
Specifying S136 Mold Steel for CNC EDM Drilling S136 Mold Steel is usually about its properties: mold-grade, polishable and hardenable. Tell us the condition you need and we machine to it.
CNC EDM Drilling Tolerances & Surface Finish
EDM holds tolerances to roughly ±0.002–0.005 mm with no cutting force on the S136 Mold 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 S136 Mold 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.
Applications of CNC EDM Drilling S136 Mold Steel
