| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using incorrect cutting tools or speeds, leading to excessive heat and material degradation. | Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped saw blades specifically designed for aluminum, and maintain appropriate cutting speeds to prevent overheating and ensure clean cuts. |
| Inadequate support during cutting, resulting in vibration and imprecise dimensions. | Securely clamp the aluminum sheet to a stable cutting surface, using material supports that distribute pressure evenly to minimize vibration and maintain dimensional accuracy. |
