VT machining specialises in CNC Gear Cutting Q345 Steel. Because Q345 Steel is strong, economical and widely available, and its machinability is good to excellent depending on carbon content; free-machining grades cut cleanly, we plan each job around the grade to protect accuracy and surface quality.
CNC Gear Cutting Capability for Q345 Steel
- Carbon/low-alloy grades
- Economical & weldable
- Tolerance to ±0.02 mm
- Hardenable by heat treat
Machining Q345 Steel with CNC Gear Cutting
Q345 Steel behaves predictably under CNC Gear Cutting 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 Q345 Steel run consistently from one batch to the next.
Design Tips for CNC Gear Cutting Q345 Steel
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Providing complete gear data (module, pressure angle, profile shift, quality class) lets us produce Q345 Steel gears right the first time. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished Q345 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.
CNC Gear Cutting 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 Q345 Steel part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
Why Q345 Steel?
Q345 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 Gear Cutting Tolerances & Surface Finish
Gear features are produced to a specified DIN/AGMA accuracy class, with profile and lead controlled for quiet, durable running under load.
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 Gear Cutting Q345 Steel
Customers order CNC Gear Cutting Q345 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.

What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Gear Cutting Q345 Steel?
CNC Gear Cutting prototypes for Q345 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.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Gear Cutting on Q345 Steel?
Machined Q345 Steel edges are clean and to specification; edge-break or deburring is added when your drawing calls for it.
What gear accuracy class can you achieve on Q345 Steel?
Gear accuracy is specified to DIN/AGMA classes appropriate to the application. Profile and lead are controlled so Q345 Steel gears run accurately and quietly under load.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Gear Cutting Q345 Steel?
Achievable tolerances for Q345 Steel gear cutting depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. We hold tight, repeatable tolerances appropriate to the feature and material. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
What surface finish is achievable on Q345 Steel with CNC Gear Cutting?
Surface finish on Q345 Steel is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
