Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to material deformation or poor edge quality.Employ sharp, appropriate cutting tools designed for aluminum alloys and maintain proper feed rates to ensure clean cuts and prevent material damage.
Inadequate attention to surface finish during machining, impacting pneumatic seal integrity.Ensure all mating surfaces intended for sealing are machined to the specified roughness, free from tool marks or imperfections that could compromise pneumatic pressure retention.

Common Applications
