CNC Polishing O1 Tool Steel is part of VT machining's grade-specific capability. O1 Tool Steel is wear-resistant and hardenable for tooling, and we combine controlled finishing with material-aware setup to produce parts that meet your specification.
CNC Polishing Capability for O1 Tool Steel
- Air/oil/water-hardening grades
- High wear resistance
- Hardenable to 58–64 HRC
- Tolerance to ±0.005 mm
Machining O1 Tool Steel with CNC Polishing
O1 Tool Steel behaves predictably under CNC Polishing once parameters are dialled in: machinability is machined in the annealed state, then hardened; carbide tooling preferred, and we tune the operation accordingly.
We hold reference parameters for this grade, so repeat orders of O1 Tool Steel run consistently from one batch to the next.
Why O1 Tool Steel?
O1 Tool Steel is chosen when a part needs what this grade offers — it is wear-resistant and hardenable for tooling. We confirm the grade and any temper or heat-treat condition with you before machining.
Design Tips for CNC Polishing O1 Tool Steel
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Telling us the target Ra, the cosmetic faces and any masking needs lets us finish O1 Tool Steel efficiently without over-processing. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
CNC Polishing Tolerances & Surface Finish
Finishing brings O1 Tool Steel to a defined roughness target — from a uniform satin to Ra values as low as 0.05 µm — with controlled, repeatable edge breaks.
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.
CNC Polishing 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 O1 Tool Steel part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished O1 Tool 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.
Applications of CNC Polishing O1 Tool Steel

Request a QuoteFrequently Asked Questions
What surface finish is achievable on O1 Tool Steel with CNC Polishing?
Our finishing processes refine O1 Tool Steel surfaces to Ra values as low as 0.05 µm for cosmetic or sealing faces.
What material thickness or size range suits CNC Polishing O1 Tool Steel?
We machine O1 Tool Steel across a broad size range; share your part envelope for confirmation.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Polishing on O1 Tool Steel?
Our deburring leaves O1 Tool Steel with a consistent, controlled edge break and burr-free surfaces.
Does CNC Polishing O1 Tool Steel require dedicated tooling?
Most O1 Tool Steel finishing work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
What is CNC Polishing O1 Tool Steel and how is it done?
CNC Polishing O1 Tool Steel refers to cNC polishing refines surfaces to a smooth, reflective finish for cosmetic and functional needs. Applied to O1 Tool Steel — wear-resistant and hardenable for tooling — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
