Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not rated for aluminum thickness.Employ carbide-tipped blades or specialized aluminum cutting bits to prevent excessive heat buildup and ensure clean cuts.
Neglecting proper support during cutting, leading to vibration and inaccurate dimensions.Securely clamp the aluminum sheet to a stable cutting surface, ensuring minimal overhang and maximum support around the cutting area.
