I am looking for a quote of 100, 1000, and 5000 cubes of aluminum (6061 or similar) 5/8" x 5/8" x 5/8". If raw 5/8" square stock is used, then the 3rd dimension should match the stock (EG - .630 x .630 x .630 ). Tolerance I would prefer would be +/-.001", but consistency of the 3 dimensions to each other is the most critical thing.

I assume the best way to do this is to pull and part the stock. If that is the case and parting gives both sides a nice finish that is square within .001" consistently no face off is necessary (a very slight nub could be acceptable. Quote it in both faced front/parted back and just parted finish on both sides if you can.

Thanks for your interest,

You probably need to clarify the parts use and tolerances for flatness and squareness. Obviously running from 12 foot bars on a lathe with a puller or pusher is going to be the quickest and cheapest way. The back and front faces will be parallel. Unfortunately unfinished extruded stock can very greatly in width, straightness (slight twists), flatness, and the corners aren't all 90 degrees, and are rounded off.

Thanks dualkit. I was hoping you were going to chime in

Very curious as to why you would need a tolerance of + or - .001" on these. After all the bars could vary + or - .009" per advertised specifications.

Not to lecture just to inform, so please don't take this wrong, but I did a lot of stuff for Boeing aircraft. There were areas on their parts that needed precision and I did some to + or - .0002", but if it was not needed the other tolerances of that same part might be + or - 1/16". Boeing knew one thing, precision costs money. .001" is about 1/4 to 1/3 the thickness of a human hair.

Just letting you know just in case.

Thanks for the advice..... twist shouldn't matter over 5/8" i wouldn't think. I definitely hear you on the variation but the test bar i got from msc that i sawed then mill faced never varied from end to end by more than. 0015" either way from .629... but maybe i got lucky....;-) as far as rounded off corners it is desirable....i will be tumbling, sandblasting, etc on them so the fresh cut corners will eventually be radiused as well.

I am starting to think that may be my problem...
