- Tolerance to ±0.01 mm
- Anodising-ready
Machining 6063 Aluminum with CNC Drilling
When machining 6063 Aluminum, machinability is excellent; high cutting speeds and superb finishes achievable. Our process plan reflects this so the finished part holds its tolerances without distortion or poor finish.
Documented parameters for 6063 Aluminum mean predictable cycle times and stable, repeatable results.
Why 6063 Aluminum?
Customers select 6063 Aluminum for CNC Drilling because it is lightweight with excellent machinability. We handle grade verification and any required heat treatment or finishing.
CNC Drilling Quality & Inspection
Quality is built in, not inspected on. We monitor key features during the run and confirm them at final inspection, with CMM verification available for tight tolerances. We provide the inspection and traceability records your quality system requires.
CNC Drilling Tolerances & Surface Finish
For CNC Drilling, dimensional and positional tolerances around ±0.01 mm are routine, tightening toward ±0.005 mm on precision setups. Surface finish on machined faces typically falls in the Ra 0.4–1.6 µm range depending on tooling and pass strategy.
Exact achievable figures depend on the alloy, the feature size and the part geometry. Tell us which dimensions are critical and we will advise feasibility up front.
Design Tips for CNC Drilling 6063 Aluminum
Small design adjustments often cut cost and lead time. Generous internal radii, sensible pocket depth-to-width ratios and avoiding very thin unsupported walls all reduce cost and improve accuracy in 6063 Aluminum. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Most 6063 Aluminum parts need some finishing, which we manage in-house or through vetted partners. Options include deburring and edge-breaking, heat treatment, surface grinding, polishing, and plating or anodising for corrosion resistance and appearance. Give us the finished-part requirement and we will sequence every operation correctly.
Applications of CNC Drilling 6063 Aluminum
6063 Aluminum parts made this way are found throughout aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics and industrial equipment. Prototype, bridge and production volumes are all welcome.

What is CNC Drilling 6063 Aluminum and how is it done?
CNC Drilling 6063 Aluminum refers to programmed drilling produces accurately positioned holes, including deep and pattern hole arrays. 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.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Drilling on 6063 Aluminum?
Machined 6063 Aluminum edges are clean and to specification; edge-break or deburring is added when your drawing calls for it.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Drilling 6063 Aluminum?
Achievable tolerances for 6063 Aluminum machining depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Milling holds positional and dimensional tolerances to around ±0.01 mm, tighter with precision setups. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
Does CNC Drilling 6063 Aluminum require dedicated tooling?
Most 6063 Aluminum machining work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
