Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools which can lead to galling and poor cut quality.Employ high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum, ensuring proper feed rates and lubrication.
Inadequate clamping leading to vibration and inaccurate cuts.Secure the sheet firmly with appropriate clamping devices to minimize vibration and ensure precise machining operations.
