Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for aluminum, leading to poor edge quality.Employ carbide-tipped saw blades or specialized aluminum cutting tools for clean, precise cuts.
Inadequate support during machining or welding, causing warping or distortion.Ensure the sheet is properly supported or clamped to prevent movement and stress during fabrication processes.

Common Applications
