Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for aluminum, leading to poor cut quality and tool damage.Employ specialized carbide-tipped blades or router bits designed for cutting aluminum to ensure clean edges and prolong tool life.
Insufficient or improper clamping during machining, causing vibration and inaccurate cuts.Securely clamp the sheet with soft jaws or appropriate vises to minimize movement and ensure stability during all machining operations.
