Request a QuoteFrequently Asked Questions
Can VT machining make custom 3105 Aluminum parts to my drawing?
Yes. 3105 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 tolerances can you hold for CNC Turning 3105 Aluminum?
Achievable tolerances for 3105 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.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Turning 3105 Aluminum?
CNC Turning prototypes for 3105 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 material thickness or size range suits CNC Turning 3105 Aluminum?
Turned 3105 Aluminum parts are produced from bar or chuck stock across a wide diameter range.
Does CNC Turning 3105 Aluminum require dedicated tooling?
Most 3105 Aluminum turning work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
