Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting fluids not optimized for aluminum.Employ specialized aluminum cutting fluids to reduce friction, prevent galling, and improve chip evacuation, leading to a cleaner cut and extended tool life.
Insufficient clamping force during machining.Secure the sheet firmly with appropriate clamps to prevent vibration and ensure accurate cuts, especially when working with thinner sections or high-speed operations.

Common Applications

  • Lubrication system reservoirs
  • Pump housings and impellers
  • Fluid distribution manifold components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges after cutting or fabrication.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining to dissipate aluminum dust and fumes.
