Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools without proper lubrication, leading to excessive heat and tool wear.Employ specialized aluminum cutting fluids or lubricants to dissipate heat and ensure a clean cut. Use carbide-tipped blades designed for aluminum.
Improper clamping during cutting, resulting in vibration and inaccurate dimensions.Secure the sheet firmly using appropriate clamps and support structures to minimize vibration and maintain dimensional accuracy throughout the cutting process.

Common Applications

  • Fabrication of custom machine parts
