CNC Milling P20 Mold Steel is part of VT machining's grade-specific capability. P20 Mold Steel is mold-grade, polishable and hardenable, and we combine controlled machining with material-aware setup to produce parts that meet your specification.
CNC Milling 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 Milling
When machining P20 Mold Steel, machinability is pre-hardened or machined-then-hardened; polishes to high finish for molds. Our process plan reflects this so the finished part holds its tolerances without distortion or poor finish.
Documented parameters for P20 Mold Steel mean predictable cycle times and stable, repeatable results.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Most P20 Mold Steel parts need some finishing, which we manage in-house or through vetted partners. Options include deburring and edge-breaking, heat treatment, surface grinding, polishing, and plating or anodising for corrosion resistance and appearance. Give us the finished-part requirement and we will sequence every operation correctly.
Design Tips for CNC Milling P20 Mold Steel
Small design adjustments often cut cost and lead time. Generous internal radii, sensible pocket depth-to-width ratios and avoiding very thin unsupported walls all reduce cost and improve accuracy in P20 Mold Steel. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
CNC Milling Quality & Inspection
Quality is built in, not inspected on. We monitor key features during the run and confirm them at final inspection, with CMM verification available for tight tolerances. We provide the inspection and traceability records your quality system requires.
CNC Milling Tolerances & Surface Finish
For CNC Milling, dimensional and positional tolerances around ±0.01 mm are routine, tightening toward ±0.005 mm on precision setups. Surface finish on machined faces typically falls in the Ra 0.4–1.6 µm range depending on tooling and pass strategy.
Exact achievable figures depend on the alloy, the feature size and the part geometry. Tell us which dimensions are critical and we will advise feasibility up front.

How clean are the edges produced by CNC Milling 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.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Milling P20 Mold Steel?
CNC Milling prototypes for P20 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 is CNC Milling P20 Mold Steel and how is it done?
CNC Milling P20 Mold Steel refers to multi-axis milling cutters remove material to produce prismatic features, pockets, slots and contoured 3D surfaces. Applied to P20 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.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Milling P20 Mold Steel?
Achievable tolerances for P20 Mold Steel machining depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Milling holds positional and dimensional tolerances to around ±0.01 mm, tighter with precision setups. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
