Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools for aluminum, leading to poor edge quality or tool damage.Employ sharp, high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum. Maintain appropriate feed rates and speeds.
Inadequate support during fabrication, causing warpage or dimensional inaccuracies.Utilize robust fixturing and support systems to maintain flatness and dimensional integrity throughout the fabrication process.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace components
  • Structural framing
  • Marine hardware

⚠️ Engineering Warnings
