Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inadequate cutting tools that cause excessive deformation or burrs.Employ high-quality cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum to ensure clean, precise cuts and minimize material stress.
Failing to deburr cut edges, leading to potential safety hazards and compromised subsequent assembly.Always deburr all edges after cutting using a file, deburring tool, or grinding stone to create smooth, safe surfaces.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabrication of enclosures and frames
