Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without proper adjustments.Employ specialized carbide or high-speed steel cutting tools designed for aluminum, and ensure correct feed rates and speeds to prevent overheating and material galling.
Neglecting to deburr cut edges.Always meticulously deburr all cut edges using files or deburring tools to prevent hazards during subsequent handling and assembly.
