Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard woodworking blades for cutting aluminum.Always use blades specifically designed for cutting aluminum or soft metals to prevent blade damage and ensure a clean cut.
Insufficient clamping, leading to vibration and inaccurate cuts.Ensure the aluminum sheet is securely clamped on both sides of the cut line to minimize vibration and achieve precise dimensions.

Common Applications

  • Prototyping and Model Making
  • Custom Fixtures and Jigs
