Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools which can lead to poor cut quality and tool wear.Employ specialized carbide-tipped blades or abrasive cut-off wheels designed for aluminum alloys.
Insufficient clamping during machining, resulting in vibration and inaccurate cuts.Secure the sheet firmly with appropriate fixtures or clamps to minimize movement and ensure dimensional accuracy.
