Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized or inappropriate cutting tools, leading to jagged edges and material deformation.Employ sharp, high-quality cutting tools designed for aluminum to achieve clean, precise cuts and minimize material stress.
Failing to deburr cut edges, resulting in sharp burrs that can compromise seals or cause safety hazards.Always meticulously deburr all cut edges using a deburring tool or file to create a smooth, safe finish.
