VT machining provides CNC Swiss Machining 1100 Aluminum for customers who need accurate, repeatable 1100 Aluminum components. The machinability of 1100 Aluminum is excellent; high cutting speeds and superb finishes achievable, so we set the operation up specifically for this grade.
CNC Swiss Machining Capability for 1100 Aluminum
- Lightweight (~2.7 g/cm³)
- Excellent machinability
- Tolerance to ±0.01 mm
- Anodising-ready
Machining 1100 Aluminum with CNC Swiss Machining
1100 Aluminum behaves predictably under CNC Swiss Machining once parameters are dialled in: machinability is excellent; high cutting speeds and superb finishes achievable, and we tune the operation accordingly.
We hold reference parameters for this grade, so repeat orders of 1100 Aluminum run consistently from one batch to the next.
CNC Swiss Machining Tolerances & Surface Finish
Turned 1100 Aluminum holds diameter tolerances to about ±0.005 mm with concentricity within 0.01 mm and good roundness. Turned finishes of Ra 0.4–0.8 µm are achievable with finishing passes and sharp tooling.
Final tolerances are governed by the material's behaviour, wall thickness and overall stiffness. We give honest DFM feedback if a callout would be costly or better achieved another way.
Design Tips for CNC Swiss Machining 1100 Aluminum
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Consistent diameters, standard thread forms and avoiding extremely long, slender features help 1100 Aluminum turned parts stay concentric and economical. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished 1100 Aluminum parts can move straight into secondary operations under one roof. Typical add-ons are deburring, passivation, anodising, plating, blasting, polishing and laser marking. We coordinate the whole chain so you receive complete, inspection-ready parts.
Why 1100 Aluminum?
1100 Aluminum is chosen when a part needs what this grade offers — it is lightweight with excellent machinability. We confirm the grade and any temper or heat-treat condition with you before machining.
CNC Swiss Machining Quality & Inspection
We control quality throughout the process, not just at the end. In-process checks plus final inspection — including CMM where specified — keep every 1100 Aluminum part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
Applications of CNC Swiss Machining 1100 Aluminum
Customers order CNC Swiss Machining 1100 Aluminum components for everything from instrumentation to structural and functional assemblies. Whether you need a single prototype or recurring production volume, the same process discipline applies.

Request a QuoteFrequently Asked Questions
Does CNC Swiss Machining 1100 Aluminum require dedicated tooling?
Most 1100 Aluminum turning work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
What material thickness or size range suits CNC Swiss Machining 1100 Aluminum?
Turned 1100 Aluminum parts are produced from bar or chuck stock across a wide diameter range.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Swiss Machining on 1100 Aluminum?
Machined 1100 Aluminum edges are clean and to specification; edge-break or deburring is added when your drawing calls for it.
Why is 1100 Aluminum a good choice for CNC Swiss Machining?
1100 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 1100 Aluminum turning part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
What is CNC Swiss Machining 1100 Aluminum and how is it done?
CNC Swiss Machining 1100 Aluminum refers to swiss-type machining guides bar stock through a sliding headstock for high-accuracy small, slender parts. Applied to 1100 Aluminum — lightweight with excellent machinability — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
