Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools that generate excessive heat, potentially altering the temper of the aluminum.Employ cutting methods that manage heat effectively, such as flood cooling or utilizing tools designed for aluminum to maintain material integrity.
Failing to properly deburr edges after cutting, leading to potential safety hazards and hindering subsequent joining processes.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges using files, deburring tools, or tumblers to create a smooth and safe finish.
