Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive force during initial abrasionStart with a coarser grit and lighter pressure, gradually increasing grit size and pressure as needed to achieve the desired surface finish.
Inadequate cleaning between abrasive gritsThoroughly clean the surface and tooling between each grit change to prevent contamination and scratching.

Common Applications

  • Surface preparation for painting or coating
  • Creating decorative finishes on architectural elements
  • Manufacturing components requiring smooth, burr-free edges

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, when working with metal stock.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when grinding or polishing aluminum to avoid inhalation of fine particles.
