Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without proper adjustmentsEmploy specialized carbide or high-speed steel cutting tools designed for aluminum to prevent material tearing and extend tool life.
Insufficient deburring of cut edgesThoroughly deburr all edges to eliminate stress risers that could lead to premature cracking or failure under hydraulic pressure.

Common Applications
