Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using dull or incorrect cutting tools, leading to poor edge quality and increased heat buildup.Employ sharp, high-quality cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum, and ensure proper feed rates and coolant usage to prevent material damage and ensure clean cuts.
Inadequate support during machining or cutting, resulting in vibration and imprecise final dimensions.Provide robust support for the sheet during all fabrication processes to minimize vibration and ensure dimensional accuracy and surface finish integrity.
