Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a blade not designed for aluminum, leading to chipping and heat buildup.Employ a blade with a high tooth count and a negative or neutral rake angle specifically designed for cutting aluminum.
Inadequate clamping, causing vibration and inaccurate cuts.Use multiple, evenly spaced clamps to ensure the sheet is rigidly held throughout the cutting operation.

Common Applications
