Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without proper adjustments, leading to excessive heat and material deformation.Employ cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum, ensuring proper blade pitch and feed rates to minimize heat buildup and maintain material integrity.
Overlooking the need for edge deburring, leaving sharp edges that pose a safety hazard.Always deburr all cut edges thoroughly after cutting to eliminate sharp burrs and ensure a safe, finished surface.
