Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not rated for thicker aluminum profiles.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum alloys to prevent tool damage and ensure clean cuts.
Inadequate support during machining operations, leading to vibration and poor tolerances.Utilize robust clamping and support fixtures to minimize workpiece movement and achieve precise machining results.
