PCS Company Now Selling Hardened Precision Tool Steel EDM Blanks

Press release submitted on behalf of PCS.

The PCS Company announces that it is now selling hardened precision tool steel EDM blanks designed to save toolmakers time and money while increasing tool room efficiency.

Engineered for mold builders seeking dimensional stability and predictable EDM performance, these blanks are supplied pre-hardened and precision-ground square and parallel.

Measuring 8″ by 8″, the blanks are available in 1″, 2″ and 3″ thicknesses in three mold-focused grades:

• DCMX matrix-type cold work steel (59–61 HRC) for high wear resistance and toughness

• H-13 hot-work steel (50–52 HRC) for thermal stability

• 420 ESR stainless (51–53 HRC) for corrosion resistance and superior polishability.

Tight tolerances (+.004 / −.000) reduce roughing and squaring operations, enabling faster setup for wire and sinker EDM. Integrated with PCS mold bases and components, these mold-ready blanks help shops streamline procurement, shorten lead times and lower total tooling cost.
