Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for aluminum alloys.Employ specialized carbide-tipped saw blades or end mills designed for cutting aluminum to prevent material tearing and ensure clean edges.
Insufficient lubrication during machining processes.Apply a generous amount of cutting fluid or lubricant specifically formulated for aluminum to reduce heat buildup, improve chip evacuation, and extend tool life.
