Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using dull cutting tools, leading to torn edges and increased burr formation.Ensure cutting tools are sharp and appropriate for aluminum to maintain clean cuts and minimize post-processing.
Ignoring material expansion/contraction in environments with significant temperature fluctuations.Account for thermal expansion/contraction in design and fabrication, especially for large assemblies or critical fits.
