VT machining offers CNC Swiss Machining for 1060 Aluminum (UNS A91060 / EN AW-1060), typically supplied O / H14. Slightly purer than 1050 for higher electrical conductivity (~61% IACS).
CNC Swiss Machining Notes for 1060 Aluminum
1060 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 1060 Aluminum weighs about 0.27 kg.

Can VT machining make custom 1060 Aluminum parts to my drawing?
Yes. 1060 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.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Swiss Machining 1060 Aluminum?
CNC Swiss Machining 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.
What surface finish is achievable on 1060 Aluminum with CNC Swiss Machining?
Surface finish on 1060 Aluminum is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
Why is 1060 Aluminum a good choice for CNC Swiss Machining?
1060 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 1060 Aluminum turning part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
Does CNC Swiss Machining 1060 Aluminum require dedicated tooling?
Most 1060 Aluminum turning work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
