VT machining offers CNC Routing for 1060 Aluminum (UNS A91060 / EN AW-1060), typically supplied O / H14. Slightly purer than 1050 for higher electrical conductivity (~61% IACS).
CNC Routing Notes for 1060 Aluminum
1060 Aluminum routes well at high feed, which makes routing an economical way to profile sheet and plate.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of 1060 Aluminum weighs about 0.27 kg.

Can VT machining make custom 1060 Aluminum parts to my drawing?
Yes. 1060 Aluminum 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.
Does CNC Routing 1060 Aluminum require dedicated tooling?
Most 1060 Aluminum machining work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
What is CNC Routing 1060 Aluminum and how is it done?
CNC Routing 1060 Aluminum refers to cNC routing cuts profiles and openings in sheet and plate at high feed rates with a rotating router bit. Applied to 1060 Aluminum — lightweight with excellent machinability — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
Why is 1060 Aluminum a good choice for CNC Routing?
1060 Aluminum is lightweight with excellent machinability, which makes it well suited to CNC Routing. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished 1060 Aluminum machining part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
