VT machining offers CNC Engraving for 1117 Steel (UNS G11170), typically supplied cold-drawn. Resulfurised carburising steel; machines faster than 1018.
CNC Engraving Notes for 1117 Steel
1117 Steel takes crisp engraved text and logos; depth and stroke width are set so the marking survives any later finishing.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of 1117 Steel weighs about 0.79 kg.

What tolerances can you hold for CNC Engraving 1117 Steel?
Achievable tolerances for 1117 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.
Does CNC Engraving 1117 Steel require dedicated tooling?
Most 1117 Steel machining work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
What surface finish is achievable on 1117 Steel with CNC Engraving?
Surface finish on 1117 Steel is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
Can VT machining make custom 1117 Steel parts to my drawing?
Yes. 1117 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.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Engraving 1117 Steel?
CNC Engraving prototypes for 1117 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.
