| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard steel cutting tools on aluminum without proper adjustments. | Employ specialized carbide-tipped blades designed for aluminum cutting to prevent excessive heat buildup, chip welding, and premature tool wear. |
| Overheating the material during fabrication, leading to reduced mechanical properties. | Utilize adequate coolant and manage feed rates and spindle speeds to maintain optimal cutting temperatures and preserve the material's temper. |
