CNC Gear Grinding SKD11 Tool Steel is part of VT machining's grade-specific capability. SKD11 Tool Steel is wear-resistant and hardenable for tooling, and we combine controlled gear cutting with material-aware setup to produce parts that meet your specification.
CNC Gear Grinding Capability for SKD11 Tool Steel
- Air/oil/water-hardening grades
- High wear resistance
- Hardenable to 58–64 HRC
- Tolerance to ±0.005 mm
Machining SKD11 Tool Steel with CNC Gear Grinding
SKD11 Tool Steel behaves predictably under CNC Gear Grinding 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 SKD11 Tool Steel run consistently from one batch to the next.
Design Tips for CNC Gear Grinding SKD11 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 SKD11 Tool 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 SKD11 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 Grinding 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 SKD11 Tool Steel part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
Why SKD11 Tool Steel?
SKD11 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.
CNC Gear Grinding 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 Grinding SKD11 Tool Steel
Customers order CNC Gear Grinding SKD11 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 SKD11 Tool Steel with CNC Gear Grinding?
Surface finish on SKD11 Tool Steel is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
Can VT machining make custom SKD11 Tool Steel parts to my drawing?
Yes. SKD11 Tool Steel SKD11 Tool Steel gear cutting 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 tolerances can you hold for CNC Gear Grinding SKD11 Tool Steel?
Achievable tolerances for SKD11 Tool 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.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Gear Grinding on SKD11 Tool Steel?
Machined SKD11 Tool Steel edges are clean and to specification; edge-break or deburring is added when your drawing calls for it.
