VT machining offers CNC Waterjet Cutting for O1 Tool Steel (UNS T31501 / 1.2510 / SKS3), typically supplied annealed or hardened. Oil-hardening, easiest tool steel to machine.
CNC Waterjet Cutting Notes for O1 Tool Steel
Waterjet cutting leaves O1 Tool Steel with no heat-affected zone, which matters for a heat-sensitive grade like this.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of O1 Tool Steel weighs about 0.78 kg.
