CNC Wire EDM 1060 Steel from VT machining delivers precision 1060 Steel parts made to your exact drawing. Wire EDM cuts conductive metal with a charged wire, achieving fine detail and tight tolerance with no cutting force, with parameters tuned to 1060 Steel, which is strong, economical and widely available.
CNC Wire EDM Capability for 1060 Steel
- Carbon/low-alloy grades
- Economical & weldable
- Tolerance to ±0.02 mm
- Hardenable by heat treat
Machining 1060 Steel with CNC Wire EDM
The machinability of 1060 Steel is good to excellent depending on carbon content; free-machining grades cut cleanly. For CNC Wire EDM we select tooling, feeds, speeds and coolant to match, keeping the 1060 Steel workpiece stable and the result accurate.
Because we machine 1060 Steel regularly, proven settings shorten setup and keep quality repeatable across reorders.
Why 1060 Steel?
Specifying 1060 Steel for CNC Wire EDM 1060 Steel is usually about its properties: strong, economical and widely available. Tell us the condition you need and we machine to it.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
We complete 1060 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 Wire EDM Quality & Inspection
Consistent quality comes from disciplined process control. Critical dimensions on 1060 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.
CNC Wire EDM Tolerances & Surface Finish
EDM holds tolerances to roughly ±0.002–0.005 mm with no cutting force on the 1060 Steel part, producing fine, controlled surface textures and sharp internal corners impossible to mill.
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.
Design Tips for CNC Wire EDM 1060 Steel
A few design choices make a real difference to cost and quality. EDM suits sharp internal corners, thin ribs and hardened 1060 Steel that cannot be milled; allowing a small corner radius where possible speeds the cut. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Applications of CNC Wire EDM 1060 Steel
CNC Wire EDM of 1060 Steel supports parts across aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics, semiconductor, energy and general industrial sectors. We scale from one-off prototypes to ongoing production while holding the same quality.
