Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools on aluminum without proper adjustments.Employ specialized carbide or high-speed steel tooling designed for aluminum alloys to prevent excessive heat buildup and material tearing.
Inadequate fixturing leading to vibration and imprecise cuts.Ensure the sheet is firmly secured along its entire cutting path to minimize movement and achieve clean, accurate edges.

Common Applications
