| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard cutting tools not designed for aluminum alloys. | Employ high-speed steel or carbide tooling with appropriate rake and clearance angles for clean cuts and extended tool life. |
| Inadequate lubrication during machining operations. | Utilize a suitable cutting fluid or lubricant to reduce friction, dissipate heat, and prevent chip welding, ensuring a superior surface finish. |
