| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard steel fasteners without proper anti-seize compound. | Employ stainless steel fasteners or coat standard fasteners with an appropriate anti-seize compound to prevent galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals. |
| Improper support during machining, leading to vibration and poor cut quality. | Ensure adequate clamping and support of the aluminum sheet during all machining operations to minimize vibration and achieve precise geometries. |
