CNC Thread Grinding S136 Mold Steel

CNC Thread Grinding S136 Mold Steel from VT machining delivers precision S136 Mold Steel parts made to your exact drawing. Thread grinding produces precise, high-finish threads on hardened parts and lead screws, with parameters tuned to S136 Mold Steel, which is mold-grade, polishable and hardenable.

CNC Thread Grinding 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 Thread Grinding

S136 Mold Steel behaves predictably under CNC Thread Grinding 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.

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.

CNC Thread Grinding Tolerances & Surface Finish

Ground S136 Mold 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.

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.

Design Tips for CNC Thread Grinding S136 Mold Steel

We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Allowing adequate grind stock, specifying realistic flatness over the true datum, and relieving corners help us hit tight tolerances on S136 Mold Steel efficiently. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.

CNC Thread Grinding 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.

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.

Applications of CNC Thread Grinding S136 Mold Steel

Customers order CNC Thread Grinding 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is S136 Mold Steel a good choice for CNC Thread Grinding?

S136 Mold Steel is mold-grade, polishable and hardenable, which makes it well suited to CNC Thread Grinding. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished S136 Mold Steel grinding part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.

What surface finish is achievable on S136 Mold Steel with CNC Thread Grinding?

Grinding can take S136 Mold Steel to a fine finish — typically Ra 0.1–0.4 µm, and to a mirror grade on suitable alloys.

How clean are the edges produced by CNC Thread Grinding 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 is CNC Thread Grinding S136 Mold Steel and how is it done?

CNC Thread Grinding S136 Mold Steel refers to thread grinding produces precise, high-finish threads on hardened parts and lead screws.
