Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to burrs or uneven edges.Employ sharp, high-quality metal cutting blades designed for aluminum, such as abrasive cutoff wheels or carbide-tipped saw blades.
Inadequate surface preparation before joining, resulting in weak welds or poor adhesion.Thoroughly clean the surfaces to be joined with a degreaser and wire brush to remove oxides and contaminants.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabricated pipe fittings and connectors
