Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to burrs and dimensional inaccuracies.Employ sharp, appropriate cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum, and deburr edges thoroughly after cutting.
Inadequate support during machining, causing vibration and compromising surface finish.Provide rigid support and clamping to the workpiece during all machining operations to minimize vibration.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Blocks
  • Hydraulic Component Housings
  • Structural Supports for Hydraulic Systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses and gloves when handling.
