Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without proper adjustments.Employ specialized carbide or high-speed steel tooling designed for aluminum, with appropriate feed rates and speeds to prevent gumming and overheating.
Neglecting proper material support during machining.Utilize clamps or vacuum tables to firmly hold the sheet, preventing vibration and ensuring precise cuts and hole accuracies.

Common Applications
