Workholding Solutions for Thin-Wall Aluminum Alloy CNC Turning Effective workholding is critical to preventing deformation in thin-wall Aluminum Alloy CNC Turning, where even minimal clamping forces can distort delicate components. We use specialized low-pressure chucks with 6-jaw designs that distribute clamping force evenly across the workpiece perimeter, reducing radial pressure by 40–60% compared to standard 3-jaw chucks. These chucks featureMore

RPM Fundamentals in High-Speed Aluminum Alloy CNC Turning Understanding the relationship between spindle speed (RPM) and surface finish is foundational to mastering high-speed Aluminum Alloy CNC Turning. In high-speed turning, RPM directly influences cutting speed (surface feet per minute, SFM), which determines how cleanly the tool shears aluminum material. For aluminum alloys, optimal cutting speeds range from 1,000–3,000 SFM, translatingMore
