Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to burrs and poor edge quality.Employ high-quality carbide or HSS saw blades specifically designed for aluminum, maintaining proper feed rates and speeds to minimize burring.
Inadequate support during cutting, causing vibration and inaccurate dimensions.Utilize a stable cutting surface and ensure the sheet is securely clamped to prevent movement and vibration during the sawing process.

Common Applications
