Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inappropriate clamping forces that can deform the sheet.Employ balanced and distributed clamping pressure to maintain sheet flatness.
Selecting abrasive media that is too coarse for initial finishing stages.Start with a finer grit abrasive and progressively move to coarser grits if necessary, or vice versa depending on the desired outcome and starting surface condition.

Common Applications

  • Precision surface grinding and finishing
  • Anodizing preparation
  • Mirror polishing for optical components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and machining aluminum.
  • Ensure proper ventilation to mitigate aluminum dust inhalation.
