CNC Tapping S136 Mold Steel is part of VT machining's grade-specific capability. S136 Mold Steel is mold-grade, polishable and hardenable, and we combine controlled machining with material-aware setup to produce parts that meet your specification.
CNC Tapping Capability for S136 Mold Steel
- Mold-grade cleanliness
- Polishable to mirror finish
- Hardenable to 48–54 HRC
- Tolerance to ±0.005 mm
Machining S136 Mold Steel with CNC Tapping
S136 Mold Steel behaves predictably under CNC Tapping once parameters are dialled in: machinability is pre-hardened or machined-then-hardened; polishes to high finish for molds, and we tune the operation accordingly.
We hold reference parameters for this grade, so repeat orders of S136 Mold Steel run consistently from one batch to the next.
CNC Tapping Quality & Inspection
We control quality throughout the process, not just at the end. In-process checks plus final inspection — including CMM where specified — keep every S136 Mold Steel part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
Design Tips for CNC Tapping S136 Mold Steel
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Generous internal radii, sensible pocket depth-to-width ratios and avoiding very thin unsupported walls all reduce cost and improve accuracy in S136 Mold Steel. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Why S136 Mold Steel?
S136 Mold Steel is chosen when a part needs what this grade offers — it is mold-grade, polishable and hardenable. We confirm the grade and any temper or heat-treat condition with you before machining.
CNC Tapping Tolerances & Surface Finish
For CNC Tapping, dimensional and positional tolerances around ±0.01 mm are routine, tightening toward ±0.005 mm on precision setups. Surface finish on machined faces typically falls in the Ra 0.4–1.6 µm range depending on tooling and pass strategy.
Final tolerances are governed by the material's behaviour, wall thickness and overall stiffness. We give honest DFM feedback if a callout would be costly or better achieved another way.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished S136 Mold Steel parts can move straight into secondary operations under one roof. Typical add-ons are deburring, passivation, anodising, plating, blasting, polishing and laser marking. We coordinate the whole chain so you receive complete, inspection-ready parts.
Applications of CNC Tapping S136 Mold Steel
Customers order CNC Tapping S136 Mold Steel components for everything from instrumentation to structural and functional assemblies. Whether you need a single prototype or recurring production volume, the same process discipline applies.

How clean are the edges produced by CNC Tapping on S136 Mold Steel?
Machined S136 Mold Steel edges are clean and to specification; edge-break or deburring is added when your drawing calls for it.
What material thickness or size range suits CNC Tapping S136 Mold Steel?
We machine S136 Mold Steel across a broad size range; share your part envelope for confirmation.
Can VT machining make custom S136 Mold Steel parts to my drawing?
Yes. S136 Mold Steel S136 Mold Steel machining 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.
What surface finish is achievable on S136 Mold Steel with CNC Tapping?
Surface finish on S136 Mold Steel is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Tapping S136 Mold Steel?
Achievable tolerances for S136 Mold Steel machining depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Milling holds positional and dimensional tolerances to around ±0.01 mm, tighter with precision setups. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
