- Excellent wear resistance
- Hardenable to 62–67 HRC
- Used for cutting tools
Machining M42 High Speed Steel with CNC Surface Grinding
The machinability of M42 High Speed Steel is difficult; rigid setups and carbide tooling required. For CNC Surface Grinding we select tooling, feeds, speeds and coolant to match, keeping the M42 High Speed Steel workpiece stable and the result accurate.
Because we machine M42 High Speed Steel regularly, proven settings shorten setup and keep quality repeatable across reorders.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
We complete M42 High Speed 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.
Design Tips for CNC Surface Grinding M42 High Speed Steel
A few design choices make a real difference to cost and quality. Allowing adequate grind stock, specifying realistic flatness over the true datum, and relieving corners help us hit tight tolerances on M42 High Speed Steel efficiently. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Why M42 High Speed Steel?
Specifying M42 High Speed Steel for CNC Surface Grinding M42 High Speed Steel is usually about its properties: red-hard and highly wear-resistant. Tell us the condition you need and we machine to it.
CNC Surface Grinding Quality & Inspection
Consistent quality comes from disciplined process control. Critical dimensions on M42 High Speed 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 Surface Grinding Tolerances & Surface Finish
Ground M42 High Speed Steel reaches single-micron tolerances on size, flatness and parallelism, with surface finishes down to Ra 0.1–0.4 µm — and a near-mirror finish on suitable alloys.
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.
