| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard cutting tools not rated for aluminum thickness. | Employ carbide-tipped blades or specialized aluminum cutting tools to prevent tool damage and ensure clean cuts. |
| Failing to account for thermal expansion/contraction in enclosed designs. | Incorporate expansion gaps or flexible mounting points when fabricating sealed enclosures to prevent stress buildup. |
