Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to burrs and material deformation.Employ sharp, appropriate saw blades (e.g., carbide-tipped for aluminum) and maintain proper feed rates to minimize burr formation and ensure clean cuts.
Neglecting proper support during machining operations.Utilize sturdy workholding and support to prevent vibration and flexing of the sheet, which can lead to inaccuracies and tool breakage.
