Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to burrs or distortion.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for aluminum cutting. Maintain proper feed rates and coolant application.
Applying excessive force during forming, causing material cracking.Understand the alloy's formability limits and use appropriate bending radii. Annealing may be required for more complex bends.
