Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for aluminum alloy.Employ carbide-tipped blades or specialized aluminum cutting tools with appropriate feed rates and speeds to prevent material galling and ensure clean cuts.
Inadequate support during cutting, leading to vibration and inaccuracy.Utilize a stable cutting surface and clamp the sheet securely to minimize movement and vibration, ensuring precise cut dimensions.

Common Applications
