Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using dull or incorrect cutting tools, leading to jagged edges and material deformation.Employ sharp, high-quality cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum. Maintain proper cutting speeds and feed rates to avoid overheating and chipping.
Failing to adequately support the sheet during cutting, resulting in vibration and inaccurate cuts.Use a stable cutting surface and, if necessary, employ clamps or a support jig to minimize vibration and ensure precise cuts.

Common Applications

  • Custom Hand Tool Components
