Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive pressure during initial abrasive passes.Start with lighter pressure and gradually increase as needed to avoid premature wear on the abrasive and uneven material removal.
Neglecting to clean the sheet between abrasive grits.Thoroughly clean the Aluminum 6061 sheet with an appropriate solvent between grit changes to prevent cross-contamination and ensure consistent results.

Common Applications

  • Surface preparation for decorative finishes
  • Precision polishing of metal components
  • Substrate for fine abrasive tooling

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, when handling and processing aluminum.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when performing abrading or polishing operations to remove airborne particulates.
