Specify the material condition
Identify the required D2 grade and incoming condition from the approved specification. State whether the request assumes machining before or after heat treatment and who handles outside work.
Send a controlled drawing package
Provide the current drawing and model, units, revision, quantity, and material-document requirements. Mark datums and dimensions that remain functional after planned operations.
Define sequence-dependent requirements
List heat treatment, grinding, coating, or other secondary work only when part of the approved design. Ask the supplier to identify sequence assumptions and inspection points.
Set acceptance criteria
State hardness or material verification requirements only where specified, along with requested records. Do not add numeric values that are absent from the controlled specification.
Compare full process scope
Align material condition, sequence, outside processing, finish, inspection, packaging, and delivery assumptions. Review CNC milling capabilities and request a drawing review through the quote page.
