CNC Gear Cutting Aluminum from VT machining delivers precision Aluminum parts produced to your exact drawing. CNC gear cutting forms precise tooth profiles for spur, helical, bevel and worm gears, and we tune every parameter to the behaviour of Aluminum, which is lightweight, excellent machinability, good corrosion resistance.

- Multiple gear types
- Profile accuracy class
- Custom modules
- Hardened-blank ready
How CNC Gear Cutting Aluminum Works
Tooth profiles are generated in the Aluminum blank by a synchronised cutter, then refined to the required accuracy class. Module, pressure angle and helix are programmed from your gear data.
We start from your supplied geometry and tolerance scheme. The setup is designed to minimise re-clamping, which protects positional accuracy across features. A first article is verified against the drawing before the balance of the batch is released.
Design Tips for CNC Gear Cutting Aluminum
Small design adjustments often cut cost and lead time. Providing complete gear data (module, pressure angle, profile shift, quality class) lets us produce Aluminum gears right the first time. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Working with Aluminum
Aluminum is lightweight, excellent machinability, good corrosion resistance. We translate those properties into a process plan: the right tooling, speeds, feeds and fixturing for the alloy.
Where the grade, temper or heat-treat condition matters to performance, we confirm it with you and can supply material certificates. Material is procured to recognised standards for consistent, repeatable results.
CNC Gear Cutting 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 Gear Cutting Tolerances & Surface Finish
Gear features are produced to a specified DIN/AGMA accuracy class, with profile and lead controlled for quiet, durable running under load.
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.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Most 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 Gear Cutting Aluminum
Aluminum parts made this way are found throughout aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics and industrial equipment. Prototype, bridge and production volumes are all welcome.

What gear accuracy class can you achieve on Aluminum?
Gear accuracy is specified to DIN/AGMA classes appropriate to the application. Profile and lead are controlled so Aluminum gears run accurately and quietly under load.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Gear Cutting on Aluminum?
Machined Aluminum edges are clean and to specification; edge-break or deburring is added when your drawing calls for it.
Why is Aluminum a good choice for CNC Gear Cutting?
Aluminum is lightweight, excellent machinability, good corrosion resistance, which makes it well suited to CNC Gear Cutting. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished Aluminum gear cutting part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
What is CNC Gear Cutting Aluminum and how is it done?
CNC Gear Cutting Aluminum refers to cNC gear cutting forms precise tooth profiles for spur, helical, bevel and worm gears. Applied to Aluminum — lightweight, excellent machinability, good corrosion resistance — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
