Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized stock for complex manifold designs.Always select stock dimensions that comfortably exceed the largest required feature or manifold body to avoid multiple, potentially weaker, splices.
Insufficient coolant during machining, leading to tool wear and poor surface finish.Employ a liberal flow of appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when machining Aluminum 6061 to maintain tool sharpness and achieve optimal surface finishes.

Common Applications
