Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without proper adjustment, leading to poor cut quality and tool damage.Employ specialized cutting tools designed for aluminum, ensuring correct blade pitch, feed rate, and coolant application for clean, efficient cuts.
Neglecting to deburr edges after cutting, creating sharp hazards.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges using files, deburring tools, or grinding wheels to create a smooth and safe finish.
