VT machining provides CNC Gear Cutting SKD61 Tool Steel for customers who need accurate, repeatable SKD61 Tool Steel components. The machinability of SKD61 Tool Steel is machined in the annealed state, then hardened; carbide tooling preferred, so we set the operation up specifically for this grade.
CNC Gear Cutting Capability for SKD61 Tool Steel
- Air/oil/water-hardening grades
- High wear resistance
- Hardenable to 58–64 HRC
- Tolerance to ±0.005 mm
Machining SKD61 Tool Steel with CNC Gear Cutting
SKD61 Tool Steel behaves predictably under CNC Gear Cutting once parameters are dialled in: machinability is machined in the annealed state, then hardened; carbide tooling preferred, and we tune the operation accordingly.
We hold reference parameters for this grade, so repeat orders of SKD61 Tool Steel run consistently from one batch to the next.
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 SKD61 Tool Steel part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished SKD61 Tool 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 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.
Design Tips for CNC Gear Cutting SKD61 Tool 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 SKD61 Tool Steel gears right the first time. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Why SKD61 Tool Steel?
SKD61 Tool Steel is chosen when a part needs what this grade offers — it is wear-resistant and hardenable for tooling. We confirm the grade and any temper or heat-treat condition with you before machining.
Applications of CNC Gear Cutting SKD61 Tool Steel
Customers order CNC Gear Cutting SKD61 Tool 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 surface finish is achievable on SKD61 Tool Steel with CNC Gear Cutting?
Surface finish on SKD61 Tool Steel is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
What is CNC Gear Cutting SKD61 Tool Steel and how is it done?
CNC Gear Cutting SKD61 Tool Steel refers to cNC gear cutting forms precise tooth profiles for spur, helical, bevel and worm gears. Applied to SKD61 Tool Steel — wear-resistant and hardenable for tooling — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Gear Cutting on SKD61 Tool Steel?
Machined SKD61 Tool Steel edges are clean and to specification; edge-break or deburring is added when your drawing calls for it.
Does CNC Gear Cutting SKD61 Tool Steel require dedicated tooling?
Most SKD61 Tool Steel gear cutting work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
