VT machining specialises in CNC Lathe Machining NAK80 Mold Steel. Because NAK80 Mold Steel is mold-grade, polishable and hardenable, and its machinability is pre-hardened or machined-then-hardened; polishes to high finish for molds, we plan each job around the grade to protect accuracy and surface quality.
CNC Lathe Machining Capability for NAK80 Mold Steel
- Mold-grade cleanliness
- Polishable to mirror finish
- Hardenable to 48–54 HRC
- Tolerance to ±0.005 mm
Machining NAK80 Mold Steel with CNC Lathe Machining
NAK80 Mold Steel behaves predictably under CNC Lathe Machining 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 NAK80 Mold Steel run consistently from one batch to the next.
Design Tips for CNC Lathe Machining NAK80 Mold Steel
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Consistent diameters, standard thread forms and avoiding extremely long, slender features help NAK80 Mold Steel turned parts stay concentric and economical. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Why NAK80 Mold Steel?
NAK80 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.
CNC Lathe Machining Tolerances & Surface Finish
Turned NAK80 Mold Steel holds diameter tolerances to about ±0.005 mm with concentricity within 0.01 mm and good roundness. Turned finishes of Ra 0.4–0.8 µm are achievable with finishing passes and sharp tooling.
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.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished NAK80 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.
CNC Lathe Machining 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 NAK80 Mold Steel part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
Applications of CNC Lathe Machining NAK80 Mold Steel
Customers order CNC Lathe Machining NAK80 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 surface finish is achievable on NAK80 Mold Steel with CNC Lathe Machining?
Surface finish on NAK80 Mold Steel is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Lathe Machining NAK80 Mold Steel?
Achievable tolerances for NAK80 Mold Steel turning depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Turning holds diameter tolerances to around ±0.005 mm with concentricity within 0.01 mm. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
Why is NAK80 Mold Steel a good choice for CNC Lathe Machining?
NAK80 Mold Steel is mold-grade, polishable and hardenable, which makes it well suited to CNC Lathe Machining. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished NAK80 Mold Steel turning part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
Does CNC Lathe Machining NAK80 Mold Steel require dedicated tooling?
Most NAK80 Mold Steel turning work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
Can VT machining make custom NAK80 Mold Steel parts to my drawing?
Yes. NAK80 Mold Steel NAK80 Mold Steel turning 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.
