Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools without proper speed and feed adjustments.Employ specialized carbide-tipped blades or high-speed steel tools designed for aluminum, and adjust speed/feed to avoid melting or excessive tool wear. Use a lubricant/coolant.
Neglecting to account for thermal expansion during cutting or welding.Allow sufficient clearance for expansion, especially on larger pieces or when performing welding operations. Consider pre-heating if necessary for complex welds.

Common Applications

  • Custom Machined Parts
  • Structural Frameworks
  • Fabricated Enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection when cutting or machining.
  • Aluminum dust can be flammable; ensure proper ventilation and dust collection systems are in place during fabrication.
