Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools without modification, leading to poor cut quality and tool damage.Employ specialized carbide or high-speed steel cutting tools designed for aluminum. Ensure proper feed rates and speeds to prevent material buildup and maintain sharp edges.
Inadequate support during machining, resulting in vibration and surface finish degradation.Provide robust fixturing and support to minimize deflection and vibration during all machining operations. Use clamping methods that distribute pressure evenly.
