Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using dull cutting tools, leading to poor edge quality and increased material stress.Always utilize sharp, high-quality cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum alloys, and maintain them regularly.
Improper clamping during machining, resulting in vibration and inaccurate cuts.Secure the sheet firmly using appropriate clamping methods to prevent movement and ensure precise fabrication.

Common Applications

  • Structural components in machinery
