Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Aluminum a good choice for CNC Lathe Machining?

Aluminum is lightweight, excellent machinability, good corrosion resistance, which makes it well suited to CNC Lathe Machining. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished Aluminum turning part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.

What surface finish is achievable on Aluminum with CNC Lathe Machining?

Surface finish on Aluminum is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.

What tolerances can you hold for CNC Lathe Machining Aluminum?

Achievable tolerances for Aluminum turning depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Turning holds diameter tolerances to around ±0.005 mm with concentricity within 0.01 mm. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.

Does CNC Lathe Machining Aluminum require dedicated tooling?

Most Aluminum turning work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.

Can VT machining make custom Aluminum parts to my drawing?

Yes. Aluminum Aluminum turning 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.
