We CNC route aluminium components used in privacy screen systems—slots, patterns and cut-outs that install cleanly in residential and commercial fencing, balconies and outdoor structures.
Working from your drawings or specifications, we machine aluminium sections for consistent spacing and repeatable results across one-off panels or production runs.

Need material supplied or cut to size before routing? We can provide a full supply-and-machine service.
At Nelsons Routing we route flat bar, angle, channel, box sections and most aluminium extrusions.
Yes - this is one of our core services.
Most of our Nelsons Routing customers supply their own aluminium material. We can rout slots, holes, or profiles into your aluminium box sections starting and stopping precisely where you require, using CNC machining for accurate and repeatable results.
Yes. We can rout any length of aluminium you require.
At Nelsons Routing we route flat bar, angle, channel, box sections and most aluminium extrusions.
Nelsons Routing turnaround is usually 2-3 days depending on the size of the job.
Yes we do. We also do cutouts for automatic sliding gate wheels and much more!
Yes — drop off your aluminium and tell us the approximate gaps or overlap you want and we will take care of the rest. We charge $20 per job for CAD drawings when required.
At Nelsons Routing we route flat bar, angle, channel, box sections and most aluminium extrusions.
At Nelsons Routing we route flat bar, angle, channel, box sections and most aluminium extrusions.
Our CNC routers and machining centres are capable of micron-level precision. We ensure slots and cuts start and end exactly at the edges of mitre cuts, guaranteeing perfect alignment, precise blade fit, and a professional finish every time.
We provide:
Yes! We specialise in custom jobs, working directly with CAD drawings to create bespoke aluminium components. Whether it’s a unique privacy screen pattern, a custom façade panel, or a one-off balustrade, our CNC routers can produce exact results.
Our services are ideal for:
By producing perfectly aligned slots, holes, and custom shapes, we ensure that aluminium components fit together seamlessly. This reduces on-site adjustments, improves installation speed, and enhances the final product’s structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.
CNC routing offers unmatched precision, repeatability, and efficiency. Unlike manual fabrication, our CNC routers ensure consistent slotting and cutting for every component, no matter how complex the design. This minimises errors, reduces waste, and delivers professional-quality results every time.
Absolutely! We handle both one-off custom jobs and large-scale production runs. Our advanced CNC equipment allows us to maintain precision and efficiency across any project size.
