Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using improper cutting tools or speeds, leading to poor edge quality or premature tool wear.Employ specialized carbide-tipped blades or abrasive cut-off wheels designed for aluminum, and adhere to recommended cutting speeds and feed rates for 0.024" thickness.
Inadequate support during cutting, causing flexing and inaccurate dimensions.Ensure the sheet is firmly supported along the entire cut line to prevent vibration and maintain precise dimensional accuracy.

Common Applications
