| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard steel cutting tools without proper lubrication, leading to heat buildup and tool damage. | Employ carbide-tipped or high-speed steel cutting tools with ample coolant or cutting fluid when machining Aluminum 6061. |
| Improperly supporting the sheet during cutting, resulting in vibration and inaccurate dimensions. | Ensure the sheet is securely clamped and adequately supported to minimize vibration during all machining operations. |
