Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to burrs or poor edge quality.Utilize sharp, high-quality saw blades or router bits specifically designed for aluminum to achieve clean cuts and minimize burr formation.
Failing to account for material expansion and contraction during extreme temperature changes in the application.When designing for systems with significant temperature fluctuations, incorporate appropriate clearance or expansion joints to accommodate the thermal properties of Aluminum 6061.

Common Applications

  • Custom filter media substrates
