Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect tooling for cutting or machining Aluminum 6061.Utilize sharp, high-speed steel or carbide tooling designed for aluminum alloys to prevent material tearing and ensure clean cuts.
Inadequate fixturing leading to vibration during fabrication.Employ robust clamping systems that firmly secure the sheet to prevent movement and chatter, which can compromise dimensional accuracy and surface finish.
