Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without proper adjustments, leading to poor edge quality and potential material damage.Employ cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum, ensuring correct blade geometry, speed, and coolant usage for optimal results and material integrity.
Neglecting proper deburring after cutting, leaving sharp edges that can compromise safety and subsequent fabrication steps.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges using files, deburring tools, or chamfering machines to ensure smooth, safe surfaces.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace components
