Yes it is machined aluminum with a shoulder. Depending on the stem you use you may need a shim to set if flush. I am actually ruining a Origin 8 stem with a 4mm shim under it.

26mm is common. Option would be to find a stem with some meat and sand it out or have a machine shop turn it it out.
Second options is a 31.8 stem with a shim down to 26 again machined out. the extra couple mm you need.
