Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not rated for thick aluminum, leading to poor finish and tool damage.Employ carbide-tipped or specialized aluminum cutting tools designed for thicker gauges to achieve optimal results and extend tool lifespan.
Inadequate support during welding, causing distortion on the heavy 0.975" sheet.Utilize robust fixturing and consider heat sinks or controlled preheating to minimize thermal distortion during welding operations.

Common Applications
