Can VT machining make custom 1095 Steel parts to my drawing?
Yes. 1095 Steel grinding 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.
Does CNC Surface Grinding 1095 Steel require dedicated tooling?
Most 1095 Steel grinding work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
What is CNC Surface Grinding 1095 Steel and how is it done?
CNC Surface Grinding 1095 Steel refers to surface grinding produces flat, parallel faces with fine finish using a horizontal abrasive wheel. 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 surface finish is achievable on 1095 Steel with CNC Surface Grinding?
Grinding can take 1095 Steel to a fine finish — typically Ra 0.1–0.4 µm, and to a mirror grade on suitable alloys.
