VT machining offers CNC Waterjet Cutting for MIC-6 Aluminum (Cast aluminium tooling plate (Al-Si-Mg type)), typically supplied cast & stress-relieved. Cast and precision-milled plate with very low internal stress, so it stays flat after machining.
CNC Waterjet Cutting Notes for MIC-6 Aluminum
Waterjet cutting leaves MIC-6 Aluminum with no heat-affected zone, which matters when later machining or welding follows.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of MIC-6 Aluminum weighs about 0.27 kg.

Does CNC Waterjet Cutting MIC-6 Aluminum require dedicated tooling?
Most MIC-6 Aluminum cutting work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Waterjet Cutting on MIC-6 Aluminum?
Laser cutting leaves MIC-6 Aluminum with a narrow kerf and a clean, near burr-free edge and only a small heat-affected zone.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Waterjet Cutting MIC-6 Aluminum?
CNC Waterjet Cutting prototypes for MIC-6 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.
Why is MIC-6 Aluminum a good choice for CNC Waterjet Cutting?
MIC-6 Aluminum is lightweight with excellent machinability, which makes it well suited to CNC Waterjet Cutting. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished MIC-6 Aluminum cutting part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
