Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting speed for aluminum, leading to tool binding or melting.Employ cutting speeds specifically recommended for aluminum alloys to ensure clean cuts and prolong tool life.
Failing to deburr edges after cutting, creating sharp hazards and potential stress concentrators.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges using a file or deburring tool to create a smooth, safe finish.

Common Applications
