Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using insufficient edge distance for fasteners, leading to material tear-out.Ensure a minimum edge distance of 2D (where D is the fastener diameter) for all drilled and tapped holes.
Employing improper cutting speeds and feeds, resulting in tool chatter and poor surface finish.Consult machining guidelines for Aluminum 6061 to select optimal cutting parameters for the chosen tooling.
