Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using dull cutting tools, leading to rough edges and potential material deformation.Employ sharp, high-quality cutting tools and maintain them regularly to ensure clean, precise cuts and minimize stress on the aluminum.
Ignoring proper support during cutting, causing vibration and inaccurate cuts.Ensure the sheet is adequately supported and clamped during the cutting process to prevent flexing and maintain dimensional accuracy.
