VT machining specialises in CNC Cylindrical Grinding 1060 Aluminum. Because 1060 Aluminum is lightweight with excellent machinability, and its machinability is excellent; high cutting speeds and superb finishes achievable, we plan each job around the grade to protect accuracy and surface quality.
CNC Cylindrical Grinding Capability for 1060 Aluminum
- Lightweight (~2.7 g/cm³)
- Excellent machinability
- Tolerance to ±0.01 mm
- Anodising-ready
Machining 1060 Aluminum with CNC Cylindrical Grinding
1060 Aluminum behaves predictably under CNC Cylindrical Grinding once parameters are dialled in: machinability is excellent; high cutting speeds and superb finishes achievable, and we tune the operation accordingly.
We hold reference parameters for this grade, so repeat orders of 1060 Aluminum run consistently from one batch to the next.
Why 1060 Aluminum?
1060 Aluminum is chosen when a part needs what this grade offers — it is lightweight with excellent machinability. We confirm the grade and any temper or heat-treat condition with you before machining.
CNC Cylindrical Grinding Quality & Inspection
We control quality throughout the process, not just at the end. In-process checks plus final inspection — including CMM where specified — keep every 1060 Aluminum part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
CNC Cylindrical Grinding Tolerances & Surface Finish
Ground 1060 Aluminum reaches single-micron tolerances on size, flatness and parallelism, with surface finishes down to Ra 0.1–0.4 µm — and a near-mirror finish on suitable alloys.
Final tolerances are governed by the material's behaviour, wall thickness and overall stiffness. We give honest DFM feedback if a callout would be costly or better achieved another way.
Design Tips for CNC Cylindrical Grinding 1060 Aluminum
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Allowing adequate grind stock, specifying realistic flatness over the true datum, and relieving corners help us hit tight tolerances on 1060 Aluminum efficiently. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished 1060 Aluminum parts can move straight into secondary operations under one roof. Typical add-ons are deburring, passivation, anodising, plating, blasting, polishing and laser marking. We coordinate the whole chain so you receive complete, inspection-ready parts.
