Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without proper adjustments.Utilize carbide-tipped blades or specialized aluminum cutting tools with appropriate feed rates and speeds to prevent material galling and ensure clean cuts.
Insufficient support during cutting, leading to bowing or vibration.Employ sturdy, flat support surfaces and secure the sheet with clamps or vacuum hold-downs to maintain rigidity and prevent unwanted movement during the cutting process.

Common Applications
