Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools that generate excessive heat and warp the aluminum.Employ cutting tools designed for metal with appropriate feed rates and coolant to maintain material integrity.
Failing to properly deburr edges, leading to stress concentrations and potential cracking.Always use a deburring tool or file to smooth all cut edges after each cutting operation.

Common Applications
