- Lightweight (~2.7 g/cm³)
- Excellent machinability
- Tolerance to ±0.01 mm
- Anodising-ready
Machining 5086 Aluminum with CNC Waterjet Cutting
The machinability of 5086 Aluminum is excellent; high cutting speeds and superb finishes achievable. For CNC Waterjet Cutting we select tooling, feeds, speeds and coolant to match, keeping the 5086 Aluminum workpiece stable and the result accurate.
Because we machine 5086 Aluminum regularly, proven settings shorten setup and keep quality repeatable across reorders.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
We complete 5086 Aluminum components with the secondary steps your drawing calls for. We arrange heat treatment, surface treatment, marking and assembly as needed. Tell us the final spec and we will plan the full route so parts arrive ready to use.
CNC Waterjet Cutting Quality & Inspection
Consistent quality comes from disciplined process control. Critical dimensions on 5086 Aluminum parts are checked in-process and verified at final inspection using calibrated instruments and, where required, CMM measurement. Full documentation — dimensional reports, mill certs, FAIR — is available when your programme needs it.
CNC Waterjet Cutting Tolerances & Surface Finish
Laser-cut 5086 Aluminum holds contour tolerances around ±0.05 mm depending on thickness, with a narrow kerf and a clean, near burr-free edge.
The tightest tolerances are reserved for the features your drawing flags as critical. Share your tolerance scheme and we will confirm what is realistic before quoting.
Design Tips for CNC Waterjet Cutting 5086 Aluminum
A few design choices make a real difference to cost and quality. Keeping holes no smaller than the material thickness, allowing for kerf, and grouping features sensibly improves edge quality and nesting yield on 5086 Aluminum. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
