Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using dull cutting tools, leading to poor cut quality and increased heat generation.Employ sharp, high-quality cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum to achieve clean cuts and minimize material stress.
Improper clamping, causing vibration during machining and resulting in inaccurate dimensions or surface finish.Securely clamp the sheet using soft jaws or appropriate vises to prevent slippage and vibration during all machining processes.
