| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using a standard cutting tool not rated for aluminum, leading to poor edge quality. | Employ a high-speed steel or carbide-tipped saw blade specifically designed for cutting aluminum for clean, precise edges. |
| Improper welding practices for Aluminum 6061, resulting in weakened joints. | Utilize TIG welding with 4043 or 5356 filler material and ensure proper pre-cleaning and heat management to achieve strong, reliable welds. |
