Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without proper precautions.Employ tools specifically designed for cutting aluminum to prevent material gumming and ensure clean cuts. Use adequate lubrication.
Improper clamping leading to vibration during cutting.Securely clamp the aluminum sheet to the cutting surface to minimize vibration, which can result in rough edges and inaccurate cuts.
