VT machining provides CNC Laser Cutting 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 Laser Cutting Capability for 1060 Steel
- Carbon/low-alloy grades
- Economical & weldable
- Tolerance to ±0.02 mm
- Hardenable by heat treat
Machining 1060 Steel with CNC Laser Cutting
1060 Steel behaves predictably under CNC Laser 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 1060 Steel run consistently from one batch to the next.
CNC Laser 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 1060 Steel part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
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.
CNC Laser Cutting Tolerances & Surface Finish
Laser-cut 1060 Steel holds contour tolerances around ±0.05 mm depending on thickness, with a narrow kerf and a clean, near burr-free edge.
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.
Design Tips for CNC Laser Cutting 1060 Steel
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Keeping holes no smaller than the material thickness, allowing for kerf, and grouping features sensibly improves edge quality and nesting yield on 1060 Steel. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Applications of CNC Laser Cutting 1060 Steel
Customers order CNC Laser Cutting 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 Laser Cutting 1060 Steel

What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Laser Cutting 1060 Steel?
CNC Laser Cutting prototypes for 1060 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.
Can VT machining make custom 1060 Steel parts to my drawing?
Yes. 1060 Steel 1060 Steel 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 is CNC Laser Cutting 1060 Steel and how is it done?
CNC Laser Cutting 1060 Steel refers to cNC fiber laser cutting follows a programmed path to cut sheet and plate with a clean, narrow kerf. 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.
What surface finish is achievable on 1060 Steel with CNC Laser Cutting?
Laser cutting leaves a clean cut face on 1060 Steel with a small heat-affected zone; most parts need little secondary finishing.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Laser Cutting 1060 Steel?
Achievable tolerances for 1060 Steel cutting depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Laser cutting holds contour tolerances to around ±0.05 mm depending on thickness. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
