Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not optimized for aluminum, leading to poor edge quality or tool damage.Employ specialized carbide-tipped blades or abrasive cut-off wheels designed for non-ferrous metals to ensure clean cuts and prolong tool life.
Insufficient support during machining operations, causing vibration and compromising dimensional tolerances.Utilize robust workholding fixtures and support to minimize flex and vibration, ensuring tight control over tolerances.
