VT machining offers CNC Cylindrical Grinding for 1100 Aluminum (UNS A91100 / EN AW-1200), typically supplied O / H14. Small Cu addition gives slightly more strength than 1050 while keeping formability.
CNC Cylindrical Grinding Notes for 1100 Aluminum
Soft 1100 Aluminum can load conventional wheels, so we use open-structure or silicon-carbide wheels and plenty of coolant.

How clean are the edges produced by CNC Cylindrical Grinding on 1100 Aluminum?
Machined 1100 Aluminum edges are clean and to specification; edge-break or deburring is added when your drawing calls for it.
Does CNC Cylindrical Grinding 1100 Aluminum require dedicated tooling?
Most 1100 Aluminum grinding 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 Cylindrical Grinding 1100 Aluminum?
We machine 1100 Aluminum across a broad size range; share your part envelope for confirmation.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Cylindrical Grinding 1100 Aluminum?
Achievable tolerances for 1100 Aluminum grinding depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Grinding routinely holds single-micron tolerances on diameter, flatness and parallelism. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
What is CNC Cylindrical Grinding 1100 Aluminum and how is it done?
CNC Cylindrical Grinding 1100 Aluminum refers to cylindrical grinding finishes outer diameters of rotational parts to precise size and roundness. Applied to 1100 Aluminum — lightweight with excellent machinability — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
Can VT machining make custom 1100 Aluminum parts to my drawing?
Yes. 1100 Aluminum grinding 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.
