| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using dull or incorrect cutting tools, leading to poor edge quality and potential material damage. | Utilize sharp, carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for aluminum, and ensure proper feed rates and speeds are maintained. |
| Inadequate fixturing of the sheet during machining, resulting in vibration and inaccurate cuts. | Employ robust clamping systems or vacuum tables to firmly secure the sheet, minimizing any potential for movement during operation. |
