Reference · MoldtoolsteelD2 Precision Tool Steel Plates
D2 tool steel plates are prepared to the specified blank size using milled, two-side-ground or eligible E1 six-side-ground finishes. The D2 E1 option is tied to hardened and tempered condition, rather than the grade name alone.

Reference · MoldtoolsteelLarge Custom Mold Bases
Large custom mold bases are reviewed around the actual plate stack, footprint, weight, height and handling requirements. The published overall capacity is a review limit, while tolerances, access and inspection are confirmed for the individual drawing.

Reference · MoldtoolsteelPocketed Mold Plates
Pocketed mold plates combine plate preparation with the specified openings, locating features and machining allowances. Define the frame or pocket geometry required at delivery and distinguish it from any finished cavity or core work remaining with the toolroom.
Product details & quotation options →The right tolerance.
On the right surfaces.
Specify the finish required for each face. Thickness, length and width tolerances differ by process.
| Plate finish | Length / width | Thickness | Parallelism |
|---|---|---|---|
| Six-side precision milling | ±0.10 mm | ±0.10 mm | 0.08 mm / 100 mm |
| Two-side ground + four-side milled | ±0.10 mm | ±0.05 mm | 0.04 mm / 100 mm between ground faces |
| E1 six-side precision grinding | ±0.02 mm | ±0.02 mm | 0.02 mm / 100 mm |
E1 applies only to eligible grades and material conditions, with length and width each up to 600 mm and thickness 10–200 mm. Maximum processing size does not carry the E1 specification. Check full E1 eligibility →
