VT machining offers CNC Swiss Machining for 1050 Aluminum (UNS A91050 / EN AW-1050A), typically supplied O / H14. Commercially pure; very soft and gummy, so sharp polished tools and high rake are needed.
CNC Swiss Machining Notes for 1050 Aluminum
1050 Aluminum can be Swiss-turned, but slower cutting data and guide-bushing clearances are set for this grade to protect slender features.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of 1050 Aluminum weighs about 0.27 kg.

What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Swiss Machining 1050 Aluminum?
CNC Swiss Machining prototypes for 1050 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.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Swiss Machining 1050 Aluminum?
Achievable tolerances for 1050 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.
Can VT machining make custom 1050 Aluminum parts to my drawing?
Yes. 1050 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.
Why is 1050 Aluminum a good choice for CNC Swiss Machining?
1050 Aluminum is lightweight with excellent machinability, which makes it well suited to CNC Swiss Machining. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished 1050 Aluminum turning part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
