Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for aluminum, leading to poor cut quality and tool damage.Employ carbide-tipped blades or specialized aluminum cutting tools with appropriate feed rates and lubrication.
Inadequate edge preparation before joining, resulting in weak or compromised structural integrity.Thoroughly clean and deburr all edges to be joined to ensure proper contact and adhesion.

Common Applications

  • Custom protective shipping crates
