Milling something out of an aluminum bar is permitted, because the rules doesn't prohibit that machining method.

Just because certain types of aluminum bar are larger than what inspectors might be accustomed to seeing on a minibot, I recommend that you bring a receipt that identifies the piece of raw aluminum stock as a bar or sheet (and not a plate).
