CNC Sinker EDM 1144 Steel from VT machining delivers precision 1144 Steel parts made to your exact drawing. Sinker (die-sink) EDM burns a shaped electrode into metal to form precise cavities and blind features, with parameters tuned to 1144 Steel, which is strong, economical and widely available.
CNC Sinker EDM Capability for 1144 Steel
- Carbon/low-alloy grades
- Economical & weldable
- Tolerance to ±0.02 mm
- Hardenable by heat treat
Machining 1144 Steel with CNC Sinker EDM
When EDM machining 1144 Steel, machinability is good to excellent depending on carbon content; free-machining grades cut cleanly. Our process plan reflects this so the finished part holds its tolerances without distortion or poor finish.
Documented parameters for 1144 Steel mean predictable cycle times and stable, repeatable results.
CNC Sinker EDM 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.
CNC Sinker EDM Tolerances & Surface Finish
EDM holds tolerances to roughly ±0.002–0.005 mm with no cutting force on the 1144 Steel part, producing fine, controlled surface textures and sharp internal corners impossible to mill.
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.
Why 1144 Steel?
Customers select 1144 Steel for CNC Sinker EDM because it is strong, economical and widely available. We handle grade verification and any required heat treatment or finishing.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Most 1144 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.
Design Tips for CNC Sinker EDM 1144 Steel
Small design adjustments often cut cost and lead time. EDM suits sharp internal corners, thin ribs and hardened 1144 Steel that cannot be milled; allowing a small corner radius where possible speeds the cut. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Applications of CNC Sinker EDM 1144 Steel
1144 Steel parts made this way are found throughout aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics and industrial equipment. Prototype, bridge and production volumes are all welcome.
How to Order CNC Sinker EDM 1144 Steel
Starting your project takes one email. Send your CAD or 2D drawing, the 1144 Steel grade and condition, the quantity and any finish or inspection requirements. We respond quickly with price, lead time and any DFM notes, in clear English.

Why is 1144 Steel a good choice for CNC Sinker EDM?
1144 Steel is strong, economical and widely available, which makes it well suited to CNC Sinker EDM. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished 1144 Steel EDM machining part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
Can VT machining make custom 1144 Steel parts to my drawing?
Yes. 1144 Steel 1144 Steel EDM 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.
What is CNC Sinker EDM 1144 Steel and how is it done?
CNC Sinker EDM 1144 Steel refers to sinker (die-sink) EDM burns a shaped electrode into metal to form precise cavities and blind features. Applied to 1144 Steel — strong, economical and widely available — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
Can you EDM-machine hardened 1144 Steel?
Yes. EDM removes material by electrical discharge rather than cutting force, so hardened and difficult 1144 Steel can be machined to fine detail and tight tolerance without distortion.
