Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without proper lubrication.Employ specialized carbide-tipped blades for aluminum and use a cutting lubricant to prevent heat buildup and ensure clean cuts.
Improper handling leading to scratches or dents during packaging.Handle sheets with clean gloves and store them flat, ideally with protective film or cardboard interleaving, to maintain surface integrity.

Common Applications
