Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to burrs and uneven edges.Employ high-quality metal cutting tools like abrasive saws or band saws with appropriate blades for aluminum to achieve clean, precise cuts.
Ignoring potential stress risers during fabrication.Design components to avoid sharp corners and abrupt changes in thickness; incorporate generous radii to distribute stress effectively.

Common Applications

  • Structural Components
