CNC machining aluminum
Precision CNC milling, turning and drilling of aluminum parts — from prototypes to production — with tight tolerances and clean finishes.
What we machine
We run CNC machining aluminum parts on 3, 4 and 5-axis centers: machined heatsinks, enclosure openings, brackets, fixtures and near-net extrusions. Aluminum machines fast and clean, so we hold tight tolerances (±0.01 mm positioning) and good surface finish (Ra 0.8 achievable).
Equipment (typical)
- 3-axis VMC (multiple)
- 4-axis indexers
- 5-axis simultaneous
- CNC lathe (turning)

CNC DFM tips
- Avoid deep, thin walls that chatter; widen where possible.
- Standardize radii to off-the-shelf tool sizes.
- Define datums and critical dims on the drawing.
