VT machining offers CNC Plasma Cutting for 6082 Aluminum (EN AW-6082 / AlSi1MgMn), typically supplied T6 / T651. European structural alloy, slightly stronger than 6061.
CNC Plasma Cutting Notes for 6082 Aluminum
Plasma can cut 6082 Aluminum but leaves a rougher edge; for precision parts we usually recommend waterjet or laser instead.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of 6082 Aluminum weighs about 0.27 kg.

What tolerances can you hold for CNC Plasma Cutting 6082 Aluminum?
Achievable tolerances for 6082 Aluminum cutting depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Laser cutting holds contour tolerances to around ±0.05 mm depending on thickness. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Plasma Cutting 6082 Aluminum?
CNC Plasma Cutting prototypes for 6082 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.
Why is 6082 Aluminum a good choice for CNC Plasma Cutting?
6082 Aluminum is lightweight with excellent machinability, which makes it well suited to CNC Plasma Cutting. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished 6082 Aluminum cutting part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Plasma Cutting on 6082 Aluminum?
Laser cutting leaves 6082 Aluminum with a narrow kerf and a clean, near burr-free edge and only a small heat-affected zone.
