VT machining specialises in CNC Lathe Machining S136 Mold Steel. Because S136 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 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 Lathe Machining
The machinability of S136 Mold Steel is pre-hardened or machined-then-hardened; polishes to high finish for molds. For CNC Lathe Machining we select tooling, feeds, speeds and coolant to match, keeping the S136 Mold Steel workpiece stable and the result accurate.
Because we machine S136 Mold Steel regularly, proven settings shorten setup and keep quality repeatable across reorders.
CNC Lathe Machining Quality & Inspection
Consistent quality comes from disciplined process control. Critical dimensions on S136 Mold Steel parts are checked in-process and verified at final inspection using calibrated instruments and, where required, CMM measurement. Full documentation — dimensional reports, mill certs, FAIR — is available when your programme needs it.
Design Tips for CNC Lathe Machining S136 Mold Steel
A few design choices make a real difference to cost and quality. Consistent diameters, standard thread forms and avoiding extremely long, slender features help S136 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.
CNC Lathe Machining Tolerances & Surface Finish
Turned S136 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.
The tightest tolerances are reserved for the features your drawing flags as critical. Share your tolerance scheme and we will confirm what is realistic before quoting.
