- Excellent machinability
- Tolerance to ±0.01 mm
- Anodising-ready
Machining 1060 Aluminum with CNC Sinker EDM
When EDM machining 1060 Aluminum, machinability is excellent; high cutting speeds and superb finishes achievable. Our process plan reflects this so the finished part holds its tolerances without distortion or poor finish.
Documented parameters for 1060 Aluminum mean predictable cycle times and stable, repeatable results.
Design Tips for CNC Sinker EDM 1060 Aluminum
Small design adjustments often cut cost and lead time. EDM suits sharp internal corners, thin ribs and hardened 1060 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.
CNC Sinker EDM 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.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Most 1060 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.
CNC Sinker EDM Tolerances & Surface Finish
EDM holds tolerances to roughly ±0.002–0.005 mm with no cutting force on the 1060 Aluminum part, producing fine, controlled surface textures and sharp internal corners impossible to mill.
Exact achievable figures depend on the alloy, the feature size and the part geometry. Tell us which dimensions are critical and we will advise feasibility up front.
Why 1060 Aluminum?
Customers select 1060 Aluminum for CNC Sinker EDM because it is lightweight with excellent machinability. We handle grade verification and any required heat treatment or finishing.

Request a QuoteFrequently Asked Questions
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Sinker EDM 1060 Aluminum?
Achievable tolerances for 1060 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.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Sinker EDM on 1060 Aluminum?
Machined 1060 Aluminum edges are clean and to specification; edge-break or deburring is added when your drawing calls for it.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Sinker EDM 1060 Aluminum?
CNC Sinker EDM prototypes for 1060 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.
Does CNC Sinker EDM 1060 Aluminum require dedicated tooling?
Wire EDM needs no shaped tooling; sinker EDM uses a shaped electrode we produce in-house for your cavity.
