VT machining offers CNC Boring for 6063 Aluminum (UNS A96063 / EN AW-6063), typically supplied T5 / T6. Extrusion alloy with finer surface finish but lower strength than 6061.
CNC Boring Notes for 6063 Aluminum
Boring bars for 6063 Aluminum are chosen for rigidity, allowing a single finishing pass for size and roundness.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of 6063 Aluminum weighs about 0.27 kg.

What material thickness or size range suits CNC Boring 6063 Aluminum?
Turned 6063 Aluminum parts are produced from bar or chuck stock across a wide diameter range.
Can VT machining make custom 6063 Aluminum parts to my drawing?
Yes. 6063 Aluminum turning is made to order from your CAD/2D drawing. Share your geometry, material grade, tolerance and quantity and we will confirm feasibility, lead time and pricing.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Boring 6063 Aluminum?
CNC Boring prototypes for 6063 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.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Boring 6063 Aluminum?
Achievable tolerances for 6063 Aluminum turning depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Turning holds diameter tolerances to around ±0.005 mm with concentricity within 0.01 mm. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
What is CNC Boring 6063 Aluminum and how is it done?
CNC Boring 6063 Aluminum refers to boring enlarges and finishes existing holes to precise diameter, roundness and surface finish. Applied to 6063 Aluminum — lightweight with excellent machinability — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
