Machining aluminium, lightweight and highly versatile

Aluminium offers excellent machinability, but its softness and tendency to form built-up edge require careful control of tooling and cutting conditions. Maximising performance relies on maintaining high cutting speeds, sharp geometries and efficient chip evacuation to protect surface quality and tool life.

Performance is ultimately influenced by machine capability, as well as the stability of work holding and tool holding. These elements must be carefully considered to ensure the most effective tooling approach and cutting parameters are applied.
