VT machining offers CNC Tapping for T301 Stainless Steel (301 temper-rolled strip (JIS SUS301-CSP)), typically supplied temper-rolled strip. Supplied in pre-hardened spring tempers; parts are blanked/etched to shape rather than heavily machined.
CNC Tapping Notes for T301 Stainless Steel
T301 Stainless Steel is tapped with cut taps (spiral-point for through holes) and controlled rigid-tapping speed; thread milling is used where tap breakage would be costly.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of T301 Stainless Steel weighs about 0.79 kg.

What is CNC Tapping T301 Stainless Steel and how is it done?
CNC Tapping T301 Stainless Steel refers to rigid CNC tapping cuts internal threads in sync with spindle feed for precise, repeatable thread engagement. Applied to T301 Stainless Steel — corrosion resistant, strong and hygienic — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
Why is T301 Stainless Steel a good choice for CNC Tapping?
T301 Stainless Steel is corrosion resistant, strong and hygienic, which makes it well suited to CNC Tapping. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished T301 Stainless Steel machining part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
Does CNC Tapping T301 Stainless Steel require dedicated tooling?
Most T301 Stainless Steel machining work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Tapping T301 Stainless Steel?
Achievable tolerances for T301 Stainless 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.
