VT machining offers CNC Routing for 1095 Steel (UNS G10950 / C100S / SK4), typically supplied annealed or hardened. Very high carbon; machined annealed then hardened for blades and springs.
CNC Routing Notes for 1095 Steel
Routing is only economical in 1095 Steel for thin sections; for thicker plate we usually recommend milling, laser or waterjet instead.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of 1095 Steel weighs about 0.79 kg.

What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Routing 1095 Steel?
CNC Routing 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 tolerances can you hold for CNC Routing 1095 Steel?
Achievable tolerances for 1095 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.
What is CNC Routing 1095 Steel and how is it done?
CNC Routing 1095 Steel refers to cNC routing cuts profiles and openings in sheet and plate at high feed rates with a rotating router bit. Applied to 1095 Steel — strong, economical and widely available — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
What material thickness or size range suits CNC Routing 1095 Steel?
We machine 1095 Steel across a broad size range; share your part envelope for confirmation.
Why is 1095 Steel a good choice for CNC Routing?
1095 Steel is strong, economical and widely available, which makes it well suited to CNC Routing. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished 1095 Steel machining part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
Can VT machining make custom 1095 Steel parts to my drawing?
Yes. 1095 Steel machining 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.
