fshegg3 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 what is the best way to polish aluminum 6061 T6 alloy to achieve FLAT, PARALLEL surfaces true to .001"? the pieces i need to polish range from 6"x 6" down to 2.5" x 2.5" and are .5" thick. i also need to polish copper 110 on one side only . it has to be flat to .001" also. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pantaz Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 One thousandth per foot, per inch, or what? A basic surface milling cutter can meet the tolerance, but you say "polish" -- what surface finish do you require? Much depends on the specifics, but any reasonably competent machine shop can hold tolerances within 0.001". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
