Types of Aluminum We Cut
We work with many types of aluminum to match what your project needs:
Aluminum Type | What It’s Good For | Common Uses |
6061-T6 | Easy to weld, pretty strong | Frames, brackets, general parts |
7075 | Super strong for aircraft | Airplane parts, high-stress components |
5052 | Won’t rust in water | Boat parts, outdoor equipment |
Our team at Istar Machining knows exactly how to work with each type. Whether you need parts that are strong, light, or won’t rust, we’ve got you covered!
How We Make Your Parts Perfect
We use the best tools and methods to make sure your aluminum parts are just right:
- Super Precise Cuts: We cut within ±0.001″ of your design (that’s thinner than a human hair!)
- Big Project Capacity: We can work with pieces up to 48″ x 24″ x 12″
- Smooth Finishes: Our parts come out smooth and ready to use
- Fast Cutting Speeds: Our machines run at 500–18,000 RPM to make your parts quickly
- Smart Tooling: We use special carbide tools that stay sharp through tough jobs
Cool Features of Our Aluminum CNC Cutting Service
1. High-Efficiency Milling
We use a special cutting method called High-Efficiency Milling (HEM). This means:
- We remove material faster
- Your parts are done sooner
- You save money on each project
2. Smart Chip Control
When cutting aluminum, little metal pieces (chips) can cause problems. Our CNC cutting service includes:
- Special dust collectors that grab chips as they form
- Clean cutting areas for better parts
- Longer-lasting tools (up to 40% longer!)
3. Smart Cooling Systems
Aluminum gets hot during cutting. Our cooling systems:
- Keep the metal at the right temperature
- Allow for faster cutting speeds
- Help make thin walls without warping (as thin as 0.02″)
