Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not rated for aluminum.Employ specialized carbide or high-speed steel tooling designed for aluminum alloys to prevent galling and ensure clean cuts.
Ignoring proper sheet support during machining.Utilize clamping or vacuum tables to maintain sheet rigidity, preventing vibration and potential dimensional inaccuracies.

Common Applications

  • Custom Fabrication
  • Structural Components
  • Tooling and Fixturing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and machining.
  • Aluminum dust generated during machining can be flammable; ensure proper ventilation and dust collection.
