VT machining specialises in CNC Waterjet Cutting SKD61 Tool Steel. Because SKD61 Tool Steel is wear-resistant and hardenable for tooling, and its machinability is machined in the annealed state, then hardened; carbide tooling preferred, we plan each job around the grade to protect accuracy and surface quality.
CNC Waterjet Cutting Capability for SKD61 Tool Steel
- Air/oil/water-hardening grades
- High wear resistance
- Hardenable to 58–64 HRC
- Tolerance to ±0.005 mm
Machining SKD61 Tool Steel with CNC Waterjet Cutting
The machinability of SKD61 Tool Steel is machined in the annealed state, then hardened; carbide tooling preferred. For CNC Waterjet Cutting we select tooling, feeds, speeds and coolant to match, keeping the SKD61 Tool Steel workpiece stable and the result accurate.
Because we machine SKD61 Tool Steel regularly, proven settings shorten setup and keep quality repeatable across reorders.
Design Tips for CNC Waterjet Cutting SKD61 Tool Steel
A few design choices make a real difference to cost and quality. Keeping holes no smaller than the material thickness, allowing for kerf, and grouping features sensibly improves edge quality and nesting yield on SKD61 Tool Steel. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
We complete SKD61 Tool Steel components with the secondary steps your drawing calls for. We arrange heat treatment, surface treatment, marking and assembly as needed. Tell us the final spec and we will plan the full route so parts arrive ready to use.
CNC Waterjet Cutting Tolerances & Surface Finish
Laser-cut SKD61 Tool Steel holds contour tolerances around ±0.05 mm depending on thickness, with a narrow kerf and a clean, near burr-free edge.
The tightest tolerances are reserved for the features your drawing flags as critical. Share your tolerance scheme and we will confirm what is realistic before quoting.
CNC Waterjet Cutting Quality & Inspection
Consistent quality comes from disciplined process control. Critical dimensions on SKD61 Tool Steel parts are checked in-process and verified at final inspection using calibrated instruments and, where required, CMM measurement. Full documentation — dimensional reports, mill certs, FAIR — is available when your programme needs it.

What is CNC Waterjet Cutting SKD61 Tool Steel and how is it done?
CNC Waterjet Cutting SKD61 Tool Steel refers to abrasive waterjet cutting erodes metal with a high-pressure abrasive stream, with no heat-affected zone. Applied to SKD61 Tool Steel — wear-resistant and hardenable for tooling — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
Does CNC Waterjet Cutting SKD61 Tool Steel require dedicated tooling?
Most SKD61 Tool Steel cutting work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Waterjet Cutting on SKD61 Tool Steel?
Laser cutting leaves SKD61 Tool Steel with a narrow kerf and a clean, near burr-free edge and only a small heat-affected zone.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Waterjet Cutting SKD61 Tool Steel?
Achievable tolerances for SKD61 Tool Steel cutting depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Laser cutting holds contour tolerances to around ±0.05 mm depending on thickness. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
What surface finish is achievable on SKD61 Tool Steel with CNC Waterjet Cutting?
Laser cutting leaves a clean cut face on SKD61 Tool Steel with a small heat-affected zone; most parts need little secondary finishing.
