Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to edge deformation.Utilize high-quality metal cutting blades (e.g., abrasive or carbide-tipped) designed for aluminum, and maintain consistent feed rates to prevent overheating and distortion.
Inadequate joint preparation for welding or fastening.Thoroughly degrease and remove any oxide layers from the joint surfaces before welding or applying fasteners to ensure strong, reliable connections.
