Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inappropriate cutting tools leading to jagged edges or material deformation.Employ tools specifically designed for cutting aluminum, such as carbide-tipped blades or abrasive cut-off wheels, and maintain proper feed rates.
Neglecting to deburr cut edges, creating safety hazards and potential for snagging.Always use a deburring tool or file to smooth all cut edges thoroughly after fabrication.
