VT machining specialises in CNC Lathe Machining P20 Mold Steel. Because P20 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 P20 Mold Steel
- Mold-grade cleanliness
- Polishable to mirror finish
- Hardenable to 48–54 HRC
- Tolerance to ±0.005 mm
Machining P20 Mold Steel with CNC Lathe Machining
P20 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 P20 Mold Steel run consistently from one batch to the next.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished P20 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 P20 Mold Steel part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
CNC Lathe Machining Tolerances & Surface Finish
Turned P20 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.
Why P20 Mold Steel?
P20 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.
Design Tips for CNC Lathe Machining P20 Mold Steel
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Consistent diameters, standard thread forms and avoiding extremely long, slender features help P20 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.
Applications of CNC Lathe Machining P20 Mold Steel
Customers order CNC Lathe Machining P20 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.

Request a QuoteFrequently Asked Questions
What material thickness or size range suits CNC Lathe Machining P20 Mold Steel?
Turned P20 Mold Steel parts are produced from bar or chuck stock across a wide diameter range.
Can VT machining make custom P20 Mold Steel parts to my drawing?
Yes. P20 Mold Steel P20 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.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Lathe Machining P20 Mold Steel?
Achievable tolerances for P20 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.
Does CNC Lathe Machining P20 Mold Steel require dedicated tooling?
Most P20 Mold Steel turning work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Lathe Machining on P20 Mold Steel?
Machined P20 Mold Steel edges are clean and to specification; edge-break or deburring is added when your drawing calls for it.
