What surface finish is achievable on 6061 Aluminum with CNC Wire EDM?
Surface finish on 6061 Aluminum is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
Can you EDM-machine hardened 6061 Aluminum?
Yes. EDM removes material by electrical discharge rather than cutting force, so hardened and difficult 6061 Aluminum can be machined to fine detail and tight tolerance without distortion.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Wire EDM 6061 Aluminum?
CNC Wire EDM prototypes for 6061 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.
Can VT machining make custom 6061 Aluminum parts to my drawing?
Yes. 6061 Aluminum 6061 Aluminum EDM machining 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 Wire EDM 6061 Aluminum?
Achievable tolerances for 6061 Aluminum EDM machining depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. EDM holds tolerances to around ±0.002 mm with no cutting force on the part. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
