How we cut
Our custom cut aluminum plate comes off automated bandsaws driven by high-yield nesting software, which packs your pieces onto the plate to keep waste, and your price, down. We saw-cut to length and width, and plate can be faced flat on request.
Standard saw-cut tolerance is −0 / +1/8″ (0.125″) on length and width. That means a piece is never short: it arrives at your size or up to 1/8″ over, so you can machine it to finished size. Thickness and flatness follow mill spec. Tighter tolerances are available on request, depending on material and cut geometry. Use the aluminum weight calculator to check what a cut piece weighs before you order.

Cut-to-size service questions
Can you cut aluminum plate to my exact dimensions?
Yes. Enter your width, length and thickness and we saw-cut the plate to size on automated bandsaws, up to 60.5 × 144.5 in. Plate can be faced flat on request.
What tolerance do you cut aluminum plate to?
Standard saw-cut tolerance is −0 / +1/8″ on length and width, so pieces arrive slightly oversize for machining to finished size. Thickness and flatness follow mill spec. Tighter is available on request.
How much extra material should I allow for machining?
Order the blank length and width your machining process needs, including any allowance for facing and finishing. We saw-cut the size you order at −0 / +1/8″, so it arrives at that size or up to 1/8″ over. Thickness and flatness follow mill spec, and tighter saw tolerances are available on request.
What's the largest piece you can cut?
60.5 × 144.5 in for 6061, 7075 and 7050 plate, and 48 × 144 in for 5000-series cast plate. Plate runs from 0.25″ up to 24.5″ thick, depending on alloy and temper.
