Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a standard wood-cutting blade for aluminum.Always employ a blade designed for metal, preferably a carbide-tipped blade formulated for aluminum, to achieve clean cuts and prolong blade life.
Insufficient clamping of the material.Adequately clamp the sheet to the cutting surface to eliminate vibration and ensure precise cuts, preventing workpiece slippage.
