Since 1985, C & R Metals has supplied high-grade solid aluminum blocks for precision manufacturing. Our Miami warehouse stocks material for critical applications — from aerospace structural parts to automotive tooling — ensuring consistent quality and short lead times for clients across South Florida.
Our aluminum blocks offer advantages for professional machining applications:
We provide a versatile inventory of aluminum blocks designed. Whether you require standard geometric forms or complex custom configurations, we ensure high-precision results for every industrial application.
Square Aluminum Block: Offering exceptional dimensional stability, our square blocks are a staple for jig and fixture construction. Typically fabricated from 6061-T6 for general structural use or 7075-T6 when higher strength is required, these blocks provide a uniform foundation for balanced machining.
Rectangular Aluminum Block: These versatile blocks are essential for building machinery bases, support rails, and custom brackets. We supply them primarily in 6061-T6 and 5052-H32 alloys, ensuring they are easy to machine while maintaining the structural integrity necessary for heavy-duty industrial assemblies.
Round Aluminum Block: Perfect for turned parts, flanges, and circular housing components, our round blocks offer consistent material density throughout the diameter. Available in 6061-T6 or high-strength 2024-T351, these are the go-to choice for precision lathe work and rotating mechanical assemblies.
Precision Aluminum Block: When tolerances are critical, our precision blocks—often cast tooling plate—are the superior choice. Crafted from specialized 6061 or 7075 precision-grade alloys, these blocks are stress-relieved and ground to maintain flatness, making them ideal for high-tolerance CNC fixtures and molds.
Custom-Shaped Aluminum Block: If your project requires non-standard geometry, our fabrication team is ready to help. We can produce custom shapes from any of our stocked 6061, 7075, or 5052 alloys using advanced waterjet cutting and milling, transforming raw stock into the exact component your design demands.

C & R Metals supplies aluminum block material to commercial and industrial clients throughout South Florida from our Miami location
Aluminum plate is typically rolled and comes in thicknesses up to 6 inches, while aluminum block can be cast or extruded in much greater thicknesses. Blocks are often used for machining massive 3D components, whereas plates are used for panels.
For most milling applications, 6061-T6 aluminum block is preferred due to its excellent machinability and dimensional stability. For higher strength requirements, 7075 aluminum block is commonly used in aerospace and heavy-duty components.
Yes, many of our commercial-grade items, such as 6061-T6511, are stress-relieved during manufacturing. This process is crucial for minimizing warping during heavy machining and ensuring the final part maintains tight tolerances.
Absolutely. As a professional supplier for commercial industries, we can provide material certification and mill test reports (MTRs) for our aluminum products. Please request these documents when placing your order to ensure traceability.
For most CNC machining applications, 6061-T6 is the standard due to its excellent machinability and strength. For higher stress applications or aerospace components, 7075 is preferred, while 2024 is often chosen for its high fatigue resistance.
