VT machining provides CNC Honing 1060 Steel for customers who need accurate, repeatable 1060 Steel components. The machinability of 1060 Steel is good to excellent depending on carbon content; free-machining grades cut cleanly, so we set the operation up specifically for this grade.
CNC Honing Capability for 1060 Steel
- Carbon/low-alloy grades
- Economical & weldable
- Tolerance to ±0.02 mm
- Hardenable by heat treat
Machining 1060 Steel with CNC Honing
1060 Steel behaves predictably under CNC Honing 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 1060 Steel run consistently from one batch to the next.
CNC Honing Tolerances & Surface Finish
Finishing brings 1060 Steel to a defined roughness target — from a uniform satin to Ra values as low as 0.05 µm — with controlled, repeatable edge breaks.
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.
Why 1060 Steel?
1060 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 Honing 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 1060 Steel part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
Design Tips for CNC Honing 1060 Steel
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Telling us the target Ra, the cosmetic faces and any masking needs lets us finish 1060 Steel efficiently without over-processing. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished 1060 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.
Applications of CNC Honing 1060 Steel
Customers order CNC Honing 1060 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.
How to Order CNC Honing 1060 Steel

Why is 1060 Steel a good choice for CNC Honing?
1060 Steel is strong, economical and widely available, which makes it well suited to CNC Honing. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished 1060 Steel finishing part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
What is CNC Honing 1060 Steel and how is it done?
CNC Honing 1060 Steel refers to honing finishes bores with abrasive stones to precise size, roundness and a cross-hatch surface. Applied to 1060 Steel — strong, economical and widely available — 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 Honing on 1060 Steel?
Our deburring leaves 1060 Steel with a consistent, controlled edge break and burr-free surfaces.
Can VT machining make custom 1060 Steel parts to my drawing?
Yes. 1060 Steel 1060 Steel finishing 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 Honing 1060 Steel?
Achievable tolerances for 1060 Steel finishing 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.
