Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong cutting tool, leading to burrs or inaccurate dimensions.Employ high-speed steel or carbide cutting tools designed for aluminum, ensuring proper feed rates and lubrication during cutting.
Insufficient cleaning before machining, resulting in surface imperfections.Degrease the aluminum surface with an appropriate solvent and wipe clean before any machining operations.

Common Applications

  • Lubricant reservoir fabrication
  • Custom wear plates for sliding components
  • Impellers and pump housings in fluid transfer systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves, when handling and machining aluminum.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining aluminum to avoid inhalation of metal dust.
