Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools that can lead to burrs or inefficient cuts.Employ sharp, carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting aluminum, and adjust feed rates to prevent overheating and material damage.
Failing to account for material expansion or contraction during cutting or fabrication.Allow for slight variations due to temperature changes, especially when precise fits are critical. Measure after cooling if necessary.
