Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive force during abrading, which can lead to uneven material removal and surface defects.Apply consistent, moderate pressure and utilize a systematic approach to ensure uniform abrasion and a smooth finish.
Failing to clean the sheet and work area between abrasive grit changes, leading to contamination and poor finish quality.Thoroughly clean the Aluminum 6061 sheet and the work area with a degreaser or solvent before changing abrasive grits.

Common Applications

  • Surface preparation for painting and coating
  • Deburring and edge finishing
  • Polishing and satin finishing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, when handling and working with metal sheets.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when abrading or polishing to avoid inhalation of fine particles.
