Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to material deformation or poor edge quality.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped blades designed for aluminum, or use waterjet/laser cutting for optimal precision.
Insufficient clamping during machining operations, causing vibration and inaccurate cuts.Secure the sheet firmly with appropriate clamps or a vacuum table to minimize movement and ensure dimensional accuracy.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace structural components
