Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for thick aluminum.Utilize carbide-tipped blades or waterjet cutting for clean, precise cuts without excessive heat buildup.
Inadequate support during machining or bending.Employ robust fixturing and support systems to prevent warping or deformation of the sheet.
