Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for aluminum alloys.Employ high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide-tipped cutting tools with proper rake angles and cutting speeds to prevent material buildup and ensure clean cuts.
Inadequate clamping leading to vibration during machining.Utilize robust clamping mechanisms to rigidly hold the sheet, minimizing vibration and ensuring accurate machining tolerances.

Common Applications
