VT machining provides CNC Sinker EDM SKD61 Tool Steel for customers who need accurate, repeatable SKD61 Tool Steel components. The machinability of SKD61 Tool Steel is machined in the annealed state, then hardened; carbide tooling preferred, so we set the operation up specifically for this grade.
CNC Sinker EDM Capability for SKD61 Tool Steel
- Air/oil/water-hardening grades
- High wear resistance
- Hardenable to 58–64 HRC
- Tolerance to ±0.005 mm
Machining SKD61 Tool Steel with CNC Sinker EDM
When EDM machining SKD61 Tool Steel, machinability is machined in the annealed state, then hardened; carbide tooling preferred. Our process plan reflects this so the finished part holds its tolerances without distortion or poor finish.
Documented parameters for SKD61 Tool Steel mean predictable cycle times and stable, repeatable results.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Most SKD61 Tool 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.
Why SKD61 Tool Steel?
Customers select SKD61 Tool Steel for CNC Sinker EDM because it is wear-resistant and hardenable for tooling. We handle grade verification and any required heat treatment or finishing.
Design Tips for CNC Sinker EDM SKD61 Tool Steel
Small design adjustments often cut cost and lead time. EDM suits sharp internal corners, thin ribs and hardened SKD61 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.
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 SKD61 Tool 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.
Applications of CNC Sinker EDM SKD61 Tool Steel
SKD61 Tool Steel parts made this way are found throughout aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics and industrial equipment. Prototype, bridge and production volumes are all welcome.
