Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools for thick aluminum.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting aluminum to prevent binding and ensure clean cuts.
Insufficient surface preparation before polishing.Thoroughly clean the surface to remove all debris and lubricants before initiating the abrading and polishing stages for optimal finish.

Common Applications
