Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without proper adjustments.Employ specialized carbide-tipped or high-speed steel cutting tools designed for aluminum, and adjust feed rates and speeds to prevent excessive heat buildup and chipping.
Improper handling leading to surface damage or deformation.Handle sheets with care, using clean gloves and lifting equipment to avoid scratches, dents, or bending, especially at the edges.
