Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inadequate clamping pressure, leading to sheet movement during operation.Employ robust clamping mechanisms that provide sufficient, uniform pressure across the entire sheet surface.
Employing abrasive media incompatible with Aluminum 6061, causing surface damage or inefficient material removal.Select abrasive grits and polishing compounds specifically recommended for aluminum alloys to achieve optimal finish and prevent subsurface defects.

Common Applications

  • Surface preparation for coating and painting
  • Precision polishing of components
