Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to material deformation or poor edge quality.Employ sharp, high-quality cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum alloys to achieve clean and precise cuts.
Neglecting to deburr edges, resulting in sharp burrs that can cause injury or interfere with assembly.Always thoroughly deburr all cut edges using a file, deburring tool, or abrasive pad.
