VT machining offers CNC Swiss Machining for 1095 Steel (UNS G10950 / C100S / SK4), typically supplied annealed or hardened. Very high carbon; machined annealed then hardened for blades and springs.
CNC Swiss Machining Notes for 1095 Steel
1095 Steel can be Swiss-turned, but slower cutting data and guide-bushing clearances are set for this grade to protect slender features.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of 1095 Steel weighs about 0.79 kg.
Starting Parameters for CNC Swiss Machining 1095 Steel
