CNC Sinker EDM D2 Tool Steel is part of VT machining's grade-specific capability. D2 Tool Steel is wear-resistant and hardenable for tooling, and we combine controlled EDM machining with material-aware setup to produce parts that meet your specification.
CNC Sinker EDM Capability for D2 Tool Steel
- Air/oil/water-hardening grades
- High wear resistance
- Hardenable to 58–64 HRC
- Tolerance to ±0.005 mm
Machining D2 Tool Steel with CNC Sinker EDM
The machinability of D2 Tool Steel is machined in the annealed state, then hardened; carbide tooling preferred. For CNC Sinker EDM we select tooling, feeds, speeds and coolant to match, keeping the D2 Tool Steel workpiece stable and the result accurate.
Because we machine D2 Tool Steel regularly, proven settings shorten setup and keep quality repeatable across reorders.
Design Tips for CNC Sinker EDM D2 Tool Steel
A few design choices make a real difference to cost and quality. EDM suits sharp internal corners, thin ribs and hardened D2 Tool 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.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
We complete D2 Tool 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.
CNC Sinker EDM Quality & Inspection
Consistent quality comes from disciplined process control. Critical dimensions on D2 Tool 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.
CNC Sinker EDM Tolerances & Surface Finish
EDM holds tolerances to roughly ±0.002–0.005 mm with no cutting force on the D2 Tool Steel part, producing fine, controlled surface textures and sharp internal corners impossible to mill.
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.

What surface finish is achievable on D2 Tool Steel with CNC Sinker EDM?
Surface finish on D2 Tool Steel is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Sinker EDM D2 Tool Steel?
CNC Sinker EDM prototypes for D2 Tool 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.
Does CNC Sinker EDM D2 Tool Steel require dedicated tooling?
Wire EDM needs no shaped tooling; sinker EDM uses a shaped electrode we produce in-house for your cavity.
What is CNC Sinker EDM D2 Tool Steel and how is it done?
CNC Sinker EDM D2 Tool Steel refers to sinker (die-sink) EDM burns a shaped electrode into metal to form precise cavities and blind features. Applied to D2 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.
Can you EDM-machine hardened D2 Tool Steel?
Yes. EDM removes material by electrical discharge rather than cutting force, so hardened and difficult D2 Tool Steel can be machined to fine detail and tight tolerance without distortion.
Which industries use CNC Sinker EDM D2 Tool Steel parts?
CNC Sinker EDM D2 Tool Steel parts are used across aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics, semiconductor and general industrial sectors — anywhere precise D2 Tool Steel components are required.
