Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for aluminum, leading to poor cuts and tool damage.Utilize carbide-tipped blades or specialized aluminum cutting tools designed for efficient and clean cuts on aluminum alloys.
Inadequate surface preparation before subsequent fabrication steps (e.g., welding, bonding).Thoroughly degrease and abrade the surface to ensure optimal adhesion and weld integrity.

Common Applications

  • Structural framework fabrication
  • Custom fixture and jig construction
  • Prototyping and model making
