| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard steel cutting tools without proper adjustments. | Employ specialized carbide or HSS tooling designed for aluminum, and adjust cutting speeds and feed rates to optimize chip load and prevent galling. |
| Inadequate fixturing during machining, leading to vibration and poor surface finish. | Implement robust workholding solutions with sufficient clamping force and consider dampening techniques to minimize vibration during high-speed machining. |
