Cast tooling plate
Cast aluminum tool and jig plate is a different product from wrought 6061 or 7075 plate. It is selected for tooling applications where dimensional stability and surface condition matter. Alloy, stress-relief practice, face finish and tolerances depend on the producer.
Specify any required manufacturer, flatness, thickness tolerance or surface finish explicitly. A generic cast tooling designation does not establish equivalence to a branded product.
Machining and applications
Use sharp tooling and suitable coolant. Allow for the actual surface condition and confirm the machining plan for thin features or extensive material removal; cast plate can still move during machining.
- Fixture bases, subplates and tooling jigs
- Vacuum chucks and workholding platforms
- Inspection and coordinate-measuring fixtures
Producer specifications
Use the producer’s datasheet and supplied certification to confirm properties and tolerances. The generic tool-and-jig name does not establish a wrought alloy specification or a structural strength requirement.
Saw cuts and machining allowance
Our standard saw-cut tolerance is +1/8″ / −0″ on cut length and width. Allow material for facing and finish machining. A different tolerance agreed on your order takes precedence.
Plate thickness, flatness and surface condition follow the supplied mill or producer specification. Full mill-stock pieces ship uncut and retain mill tolerances.
Mill certificates with your order
Mill certifications are included. Open or download certificates for your assigned material from My Orders once available. Specify DFARS or Domestic when your order requires it.
