Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools or speeds, leading to poor edge quality or tool damage.Employ carbide-tipped blades or specialized aluminum cutting bits and maintain recommended feed rates and RPMs for 6061 aluminum.
Neglecting proper clamping during machining, resulting in vibration and inaccurate cuts.Secure the sheet firmly with appropriate clamps, ensuring even pressure distribution to prevent movement during fabrication.

Common Applications

  • Custom framework for conveyor systems
