Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to jagged edges and potential material weakening.Utilize shears, saws, or plasma cutters specifically designed for metal to achieve clean, precise cuts.
Failing to account for material expansion/contraction during welding or temperature changes.Incorporate expansion joints or pre-drill holes for fasteners to accommodate thermal movement.
