Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using dull or incorrect cutting tools, leading to rough edges and potential material deformation.Employ sharp, high-quality cutting blades specifically designed for aluminum. Ensure proper feed rates and cooling to maintain edge quality.
Neglecting to deburr edges, creating sharp hazards and potential issues with subsequent joining processes.Always use a deburring tool or file to smooth all cut edges after fabrication.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures and Housings
  • Lighting Fixture Components
