Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not rated for aluminum, leading to poor edge quality and potential material deformation.Employ high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum alloys to achieve clean, precise cuts.
Inadequate consideration of material expansion/contraction due to temperature fluctuations in pneumatic systems.Account for thermal expansion in design and fabrication by incorporating appropriate clearances or expansion joints where necessary.

Common Applications
