CNC Honing S136 Mold Steel is part of VT machining's grade-specific capability. S136 Mold Steel is mold-grade, polishable and hardenable, and we combine controlled finishing with material-aware setup to produce parts that meet your specification.
CNC Honing Capability for S136 Mold Steel
- Mold-grade cleanliness
- Polishable to mirror finish
- Hardenable to 48–54 HRC
- Tolerance to ±0.005 mm
Machining S136 Mold Steel with CNC Honing
S136 Mold Steel behaves predictably under CNC Honing once parameters are dialled in: machinability is pre-hardened or machined-then-hardened; polishes to high finish for molds, and we tune the operation accordingly.
We hold reference parameters for this grade, so repeat orders of S136 Mold Steel run consistently from one batch to the next.
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 S136 Mold Steel part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished S136 Mold 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.
Design Tips for CNC Honing S136 Mold 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 S136 Mold Steel efficiently without over-processing. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
CNC Honing Tolerances & Surface Finish
Finishing brings S136 Mold 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 S136 Mold Steel?
S136 Mold Steel is chosen when a part needs what this grade offers — it is mold-grade, polishable and hardenable. We confirm the grade and any temper or heat-treat condition with you before machining.
Applications of CNC Honing S136 Mold Steel
Customers order CNC Honing S136 Mold 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 CNC Honing S136 Mold Steel and how is it done?
CNC Honing S136 Mold Steel refers to honing finishes bores with abrasive stones to precise size, roundness and a cross-hatch surface. Applied to S136 Mold Steel — mold-grade, polishable and hardenable — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
Can VT machining make custom S136 Mold Steel parts to my drawing?
Yes. S136 Mold Steel S136 Mold 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 is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Honing S136 Mold Steel?
CNC Honing prototypes for S136 Mold 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.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Honing S136 Mold Steel?
Achievable tolerances for S136 Mold 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.
