Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without proper setup.Employ specialized carbide or high-speed steel blades designed for aluminum to prevent chip buildup and ensure clean cuts.
Ignoring edge finishing after cutting.Always deburr and smooth cut edges with a file or deburring tool to remove sharp fragments and prevent injury.

Common Applications
