Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive force during abrasion, leading to uneven material removal or heat buildup.Apply moderate, consistent pressure and allow the abrasive media to do the work. Implement cooling measures if prolonged or intensive abrasion is required.
Inadequate cleaning of the surface or abrasive media, resulting in scratches or embedding of debris.Thoroughly clean both the Aluminum 6061 sheet and the abrasive media before and during the process to prevent contamination.

Common Applications

  • Surface preparation for painting or coating
  • Achieving mirror finishes on metal components
  • Deburring and edge finishing of machined parts

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, when working with abrasive materials and metal sheets.
  • Exercise caution when handling large metal sheets to prevent injury. Ensure proper lifting techniques are employed.
