VT machining provides CNC Press Brake Forming NAK80 Mold Steel for customers who need accurate, repeatable NAK80 Mold Steel components. The machinability of NAK80 Mold Steel is pre-hardened or machined-then-hardened; polishes to high finish for molds, so we set the operation up specifically for this grade.
CNC Press Brake Forming Capability for NAK80 Mold Steel
- Mold-grade cleanliness
- Polishable to mirror finish
- Hardenable to 48–54 HRC
- Tolerance to ±0.005 mm

Published typical values for WC-Co (YG8 / K20). Other grades in the family differ — the certificate supplied with your order carries the actual heat-lot figures.
Everything is done by grinding, wire EDM or sinker EDM. Design in a small corner radius wherever possible — a true sharp internal corner doubles the EDM time.
Machining NAK80 Mold Steel with CNC Press Brake Forming
The machinability of NAK80 Mold Steel is pre-hardened or machined-then-hardened; polishes to high finish for molds. For CNC Press Brake Forming we select tooling, feeds, speeds and coolant to match, keeping the NAK80 Mold Steel workpiece stable and the result accurate.
Because we machine NAK80 Mold Steel regularly, proven settings shorten setup and keep quality repeatable across reorders.
Achievable Tolerances for CNC Press Brake Forming NAK80 Mold Steel
| Feature | Standard | Precision |
|---|---|---|
| Bend angle | ±1.0° | ±0.5° |
| Flange length | ±0.30 mm | ±0.15 mm |
| Hole-to-bend distance | ±0.30 mm | ±0.15 mm |
| Minimum inside radius | 1.0 × thickness | 0.8 × thickness |
| Minimum flange height | 4 × thickness + radius | 3 × thickness + radius |
| Bend-to-bend spacing | ±0.30 mm | ±0.15 mm |
| Sheet thickness range | 0.5–8.0 mm | 0.5–4.0 mm |
Standard is what a normal quotation assumes. Precision is available on nominated features and is priced separately, because it needs extra setups, in-process gauging and CMM verification. Call out only the features that need it — blanket-tightening a drawing is the single most common reason a quote comes back expensive.
CNC Press Brake Forming Quality & Inspection
Consistent quality comes from disciplined process control. Critical dimensions on NAK80 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 Press Brake Forming NAK80 Mold Steel
A few design choices make a real difference to cost and quality. Consistent bend radii, adequate flange lengths and grain-direction awareness reduce cracking and springback in formed NAK80 Mold Steel. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
CNC Press Brake Forming Tolerances & Surface Finish
Formed NAK80 Mold Steel holds bend angles to about ±0.5° and consistent flange dimensions, with bend allowance compensated for the material and thickness.
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.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
We complete NAK80 Mold Steel components with the secondary steps your drawing calls for. We arrange heat treatment, surface treatment, marking and assembly as needed. Tell us the final spec and we will plan the full route so parts arrive ready to use.
Why NAK80 Mold Steel?

What We Need to Quote CNC Press Brake Forming NAK80 Mold Steel
- GeometrySTEP or IGES for the 3D model, plus a PDF drawing if you have tolerance callouts. A dimensioned sketch is enough to start.
- MaterialThe exact NAK80 Mold Steel grade and condition — temper, heat-treat state or hardness. If you are not sure, tell us the function and we will suggest one.
- QuantityPrototype count and the expected annual volume. Both change how the part is made and therefore what it costs.
- TolerancesWhich features are critical. Everything else runs to our standard tolerance, which is what keeps the price sensible.
- FinishSurface treatment, cosmetic requirements, and any faces that must be masked.
- DocumentsWhether you need a material certificate, dimensional report, FAIR or PPAP with the shipment.
Missing something from the list is not a problem — send what you have. We will come back with the specific questions rather than a generic form.
