Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools or speeds for aluminum, leading to poor edge quality or tool damage.Utilize carbide-tipped or specialized aluminum cutting tools and adhere to manufacturer-recommended speeds and feed rates.
Inadequate preparation of welding surfaces, resulting in porosity or weak joints.Thoroughly degrease and remove any oxide layer from the welding area using a stainless steel brush dedicated solely to aluminum.

Common Applications

  • Custom Fixturing and Jigs
  • Prototyping and Model Making
  • Structural Components and Brackets

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection when fabricating.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting, grinding, or welding aluminum to avoid inhalation of fumes.
