VT machining offers CNC Saw Cutting for O1 Tool Steel (UNS T31501 / 1.2510 / SKS3), typically supplied annealed or hardened. Oil-hardening, easiest tool steel to machine.
CNC Saw Cutting Notes for O1 Tool Steel
CNC Saw Cutting is rarely the right route for O1 Tool Steel: in its usual condition (Annealed or hardened, ~200 HB annealed; 57-62 HRC hardened) it is not suited to this process. We normally recommend grinding, EDM or machining from bar instead — send the drawing and we will suggest the most economical method.
O1 Tool Steel saws quickly with standard bi-metal blades.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of O1 Tool Steel weighs about 0.78 kg.

How clean are the edges produced by CNC Saw Cutting on O1 Tool Steel?
Machined O1 Tool Steel edges are clean and to specification; edge-break or deburring is added when your drawing calls for it.
Why is O1 Tool Steel a good choice for CNC Saw Cutting?
O1 Tool Steel is wear-resistant and hardenable for tooling, which makes it well suited to CNC Saw Cutting. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished O1 Tool Steel forming part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
Does CNC Saw Cutting O1 Tool Steel require dedicated tooling?
Most O1 Tool Steel forming work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
Can VT machining make custom O1 Tool Steel parts to my drawing?
Yes. O1 Tool Steel forming 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.
What is CNC Saw Cutting O1 Tool Steel and how is it done?
CNC Saw Cutting O1 Tool Steel refers to cNC saw cutting sections bar, tube and plate to precise length for downstream machining. 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.
