VT machining offers CNC Bending for 1060 Aluminum (UNS A91060 / EN AW-1060), typically supplied O / H14. Slightly purer than 1050 for higher electrical conductivity (~61% IACS).
CNC Bending Notes for 1060 Aluminum
1060 Aluminum bends to a tight inside radius (about 1× thickness) in this condition.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of 1060 Aluminum weighs about 0.27 kg.

What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Bending 1060 Aluminum?
CNC Bending prototypes for 1060 Aluminum can be produced quickly and scaled to series production. Send your drawing and quantity and we will advise lead time and any minimum order.
Why is 1060 Aluminum a good choice for CNC Bending?
1060 Aluminum is lightweight with excellent machinability, which makes it well suited to CNC Bending. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished 1060 Aluminum forming part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Bending 1060 Aluminum?
Achievable tolerances for 1060 Aluminum forming depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. We hold tight, repeatable tolerances appropriate to the feature and material. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
What is CNC Bending 1060 Aluminum and how is it done?
CNC Bending 1060 Aluminum refers to cNC bending forms sheet metal to precise angles using a programmed press brake and back-gauge. Applied to 1060 Aluminum — lightweight with excellent machinability — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
Does CNC Bending 1060 Aluminum require dedicated tooling?
Most 1060 Aluminum forming work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
What material thickness or size range suits CNC Bending 1060 Aluminum?
We form 1060 Aluminum sheet and plate to your developed flat pattern and bend sequence.
