Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using an incorrect blade type for aluminum, leading to melting or poor cut quality.Employ a blade specifically designed for cutting aluminum, featuring a higher tooth count and negative rake angle.
Insufficient clamping of the material, resulting in vibration and inaccurate cuts.Ensure the aluminum sheet is firmly clamped at multiple points to minimize movement during the cutting process.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace structural components
  • Automotive chassis and body parts
  • Marine fittings and structures
  • High-performance bicycle frames
