Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not rated for thick aluminum plate.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum to prevent tool wear and ensure clean cuts.
Insufficient clamping leading to vibration and inaccurate cuts.Utilize robust clamping mechanisms and support the sheet adequately to minimize flex and vibration during machining operations.

Common Applications
