Why is 1095 Steel a good choice for CNC Polishing?
1095 Steel is strong, economical and widely available, which makes it well suited to CNC Polishing. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished 1095 Steel finishing part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Polishing 1095 Steel?
CNC Polishing prototypes for 1095 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 surface finish is achievable on 1095 Steel with CNC Polishing?
Our finishing processes refine 1095 Steel surfaces to Ra values as low as 0.05 µm for cosmetic or sealing faces.
Can VT machining make custom 1095 Steel parts to my drawing?
Yes. 1095 Steel finishing 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.
