- Lightweight (~2.7 g/cm³)
- Excellent machinability
- Tolerance to ±0.01 mm
- Anodising-ready
Machining 3004 Aluminum with CNC EDM Drilling
The machinability of 3004 Aluminum is excellent; high cutting speeds and superb finishes achievable. For CNC EDM Drilling we select tooling, feeds, speeds and coolant to match, keeping the 3004 Aluminum workpiece stable and the result accurate.
Because we machine 3004 Aluminum regularly, proven settings shorten setup and keep quality repeatable across reorders.
CNC EDM Drilling Tolerances & Surface Finish
EDM holds tolerances to roughly ±0.002–0.005 mm with no cutting force on the 3004 Aluminum part, producing fine, controlled surface textures and sharp internal corners impossible to mill.
The tightest tolerances are reserved for the features your drawing flags as critical. Share your tolerance scheme and we will confirm what is realistic before quoting.
CNC EDM Drilling Quality & Inspection
Consistent quality comes from disciplined process control. Critical dimensions on 3004 Aluminum parts are checked in-process and verified at final inspection using calibrated instruments and, where required, CMM measurement. Full documentation — dimensional reports, mill certs, FAIR — is available when your programme needs it.
Design Tips for CNC EDM Drilling 3004 Aluminum
A few design choices make a real difference to cost and quality. EDM suits sharp internal corners, thin ribs and hardened 3004 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.

Request a QuoteFrequently Asked Questions
Can you EDM-machine hardened 3004 Aluminum?
Yes. EDM removes material by electrical discharge rather than cutting force, so hardened and difficult 3004 Aluminum can be machined to fine detail and tight tolerance without distortion.
Does CNC EDM Drilling 3004 Aluminum require dedicated tooling?
Wire EDM needs no shaped tooling; sinker EDM uses a shaped electrode we produce in-house for your cavity.
What surface finish is achievable on 3004 Aluminum with CNC EDM Drilling?
Surface finish on 3004 Aluminum is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC EDM Drilling 3004 Aluminum?
Achievable tolerances for 3004 Aluminum EDM machining depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. EDM holds tolerances to around ±0.002 mm with no cutting force on the part. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
Can VT machining make custom 3004 Aluminum parts to my drawing?
Yes. 3004 Aluminum 3004 Aluminum EDM machining 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 EDM Drilling 3004 Aluminum?
CNC EDM Drilling prototypes for 3004 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.
