| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using incorrect cutting tools or speeds for aluminum, leading to poor surface finish or tool damage. | Utilize sharp, high-speed steel or carbide tooling specifically designed for aluminum. Maintain appropriate cutting speeds and feeds to achieve a clean cut and prevent galling. |
| Inadequate clamping of the sheet, resulting in vibration and inaccuracies during machining. | Employ robust clamping mechanisms that distribute pressure evenly across the sheet, ensuring it remains stable and immobile during all fabrication processes. |
