Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for aluminum, leading to poor cut quality and potential tool damage.Employ specialized carbide or high-speed steel cutting tools with appropriate geometries and speeds for aluminum machining.
Ignoring potential for thermal expansion during cutting or welding, leading to dimensional inaccuracies.Account for thermal expansion in design and cutting processes; allow for cooling or use controlled temperature environments.
