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 binding and ensure clean cuts.
Inadequate support during machining, leading to vibration and poor tolerances.Secure the sheet firmly with appropriate clamping mechanisms, ensuring minimal overhang and maximum support during all machining operations.
