VT machining provides CNC Punching S136 Mold Steel for customers who need accurate, repeatable S136 Mold Steel components. The machinability of S136 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 Punching 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 Punching
When punching S136 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 S136 Mold Steel mean predictable cycle times and stable, repeatable results.
CNC Punching Tolerances & Surface Finish
Punched S136 Mold Steel holds hole-position repeatability around ±0.10 mm across the sheet, with consistent hole quality when punch/die clearance is matched to the gauge.
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.
Design Tips for CNC Punching S136 Mold Steel
Small design adjustments often cut cost and lead time. Keeping hole-to-edge and hole-to-hole distances at least 1.5–2× thickness avoids distortion and tearing in punched S136 Mold Steel. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Most S136 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.
CNC Punching 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.
Why S136 Mold Steel?
Customers select S136 Mold Steel for CNC Punching because it is mold-grade, polishable and hardenable. We handle grade verification and any required heat treatment or finishing.
Applications of CNC Punching S136 Mold Steel
S136 Mold Steel parts made this way are found throughout aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics and industrial equipment. Prototype, bridge and production volumes are all welcome.

Request a QuoteFrequently Asked Questions
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Punching S136 Mold Steel?
Achievable tolerances for S136 Mold Steel punching depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Punching holds hole-position repeatability to around ±0.10 mm. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
Why is S136 Mold Steel a good choice for CNC Punching?
S136 Mold Steel is mold-grade, polishable and hardenable, which makes it well suited to CNC Punching. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished S136 Mold Steel punching part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
What material thickness or size range suits CNC Punching S136 Mold Steel?
Punching suits S136 Mold Steel sheet roughly 0.5–6 mm thick, with clearance matched to the gauge.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Punching on S136 Mold Steel?
Punched S136 Mold Steel edges are clean when punch/die clearance is correct; we set clearance to the gauge and can add deburring if specified.
