CNC EDM Drilling 1060 Aluminum from VT machining delivers precision 1060 Aluminum parts made to your exact drawing. Fast-hole EDM drilling produces small, deep holes in hard metals, including starter holes for wire EDM, with parameters tuned to 1060 Aluminum, which is lightweight with excellent machinability.
CNC EDM Drilling Capability for 1060 Aluminum
- Lightweight (~2.7 g/cm³)
- Excellent machinability
- Tolerance to ±0.01 mm
- Anodising-ready
Machining 1060 Aluminum with CNC EDM Drilling
When EDM machining 1060 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 1060 Aluminum mean predictable cycle times and stable, repeatable results.
CNC EDM Drilling Tolerances & Surface Finish
EDM holds tolerances to roughly ±0.002–0.005 mm with no cutting force on the 1060 Aluminum part, producing fine, controlled surface textures and sharp internal corners impossible to mill.
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 EDM Drilling 1060 Aluminum
Small design adjustments often cut cost and lead time. EDM suits sharp internal corners, thin ribs and hardened 1060 Aluminum that cannot be milled; allowing a small corner radius where possible speeds the cut. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Most 1060 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.
Why 1060 Aluminum?
Customers select 1060 Aluminum for CNC EDM Drilling because it is lightweight with excellent machinability. We handle grade verification and any required heat treatment or finishing.
