VT machining provides CNC Turning 1117 Steel for customers who need accurate, repeatable 1117 Steel components. The machinability of 1117 Steel is good to excellent depending on carbon content; free-machining grades cut cleanly, so we set the operation up specifically for this grade.
CNC Turning Capability for 1117 Steel
- Carbon/low-alloy grades
- Economical & weldable
- Tolerance to ±0.02 mm
- Hardenable by heat treat
Machining 1117 Steel with CNC Turning
1117 Steel behaves predictably under CNC Turning once parameters are dialled in: machinability is good to excellent depending on carbon content; free-machining grades cut cleanly, and we tune the operation accordingly.
We hold reference parameters for this grade, so repeat orders of 1117 Steel run consistently from one batch to the next.
CNC Turning 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 1117 Steel part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
Design Tips for CNC Turning 1117 Steel
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Consistent diameters, standard thread forms and avoiding extremely long, slender features help 1117 Steel turned parts stay concentric and economical. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Why 1117 Steel?
1117 Steel is chosen when a part needs what this grade offers — it is strong, economical and widely available. We confirm the grade and any temper or heat-treat condition with you before machining.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished 1117 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 Turning Tolerances & Surface Finish
Turned 1117 Steel holds diameter tolerances to about ±0.005 mm with concentricity within 0.01 mm and good roundness. Turned finishes of Ra 0.4–0.8 µm are achievable with finishing passes and sharp tooling.
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.
Applications of CNC Turning 1117 Steel
Customers order CNC Turning 1117 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.

What surface finish is achievable on 1117 Steel with CNC Turning?
Surface finish on 1117 Steel is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
Does CNC Turning 1117 Steel require dedicated tooling?
Most 1117 Steel turning work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
Why is 1117 Steel a good choice for CNC Turning?
1117 Steel is strong, economical and widely available, which makes it well suited to CNC Turning. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished 1117 Steel turning part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Turning 1117 Steel?
Achievable tolerances for 1117 Steel turning depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Turning holds diameter tolerances to around ±0.005 mm with concentricity within 0.01 mm. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
Can VT machining make custom 1117 Steel parts to my drawing?
Yes. 1117 Steel 1117 Steel turning 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.
