Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools without proper cooling, leading to material deformation or tool wear.Employ cutting fluids or lubricants and maintain optimal cutting speeds to manage heat and ensure clean cuts.
Ignoring edge finishing after cutting, resulting in sharp burrs that can cause leaks or injuries.Always deburr all fabricated edges thoroughly using files or deburring tools.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic manifold fabrication
  • Custom pneumatic control panel construction
  • Mounting plates for pneumatic actuators and sensors

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid personal injury from sharp edges.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or machining aluminum.
