Installation Procedure

1. Accurately measure and mark cut lines on the aluminum sheet according to project specifications. 2. Utilize appropriate cutting tools (e.g., band saw, CNC router with suitable bit) for precise material removal, ensuring proper coolant application to prevent overheating. 3. Deburr all edges to remove sharp burrs and prepare surfaces for subsequent fabrication steps such as bending, drilling, or fastening.
