Introduction Overview of D2 Steel and Its Relevance in CNC Machining D2 Steel is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel that’s tough as nails and widely loved in the manufacturing world. I’ve seen it pop up everywhere—from knife blades to industrial molds—because of its incredible hardness and wear resistance. When paired with CNC machining, D2 Steel becomes a game-changer for creating precision parts that last. CNC, or Computer Numerical Control, lets us shape this rugged material with accuracy that hand tools can’t touch. For those needing tailored solutions, Custom Machining with D2 Steel offers endless possibilities to meet specific project demands. The result? Flawless CNC machined parts
