Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools which can lead to excessive heat buildup and poor cut quality.Employ specialized carbide or high-speed steel (HSS) cutting tools with appropriate feed rates and coolant for aluminum.
Failing to account for the thermal expansion of aluminum during machining, leading to dimensional inaccuracies.Allow sufficient cooling time between machining passes and consider ambient temperature when setting precise dimensions.
