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 cutting tools specifically rated for aluminum, utilizing appropriate speeds and feeds to achieve clean, precise cuts.
Neglecting to deburr edges after cutting, creating sharp hazards.Always deburr cut edges thoroughly with a file or deburring tool to ensure a safe and finished surface.

Common Applications
