Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for aluminum alloys.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum to prevent tool wear and ensure clean cuts.
Insufficient edge deburring after cutting.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges to eliminate sharp points that can compromise safety and subsequent manufacturing processes.
