Beginning in the aluminum cutting stage, you need to manipulate the right machine according to the process and figures in the drawing. Priority is given to cutting long bars first, short bars later. The vertical and horizontal bars should be cut first and then cut other small detail bars. The reason is because if we make a mistake, we can fix the long bar to the short one, minimizing the costs incurred.

When conducting cutting, there may be errors within the permissible limits such as: Length and width are allowed to have an error of less than 1mm. With a cutting angle of 45 degrees and 90 degrees, tolerances are allowed: 0.5mm to 1mm. Size plus welding error: 3x2mm.

Or do not need to punch drainage holes for bars with steel core holes deviated outward.

Drill, use a non-0.5cm drill to drill a drainage hole 3cm in length. Drain hole must deviate 150mm from the outlet hole so that both drain quickly and ensure sound and heat insulation. You need to adjust the drill so that the drill does not penetrate the steel core baffle.
