Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a non-calibrated cutting tool, leading to inaccurate dimensions and potential stress points.Calibrate and verify the accuracy of all cutting tools before use. Employ a straight edge or jig for precise measurements.
Failing to properly deburr edges, which can cause premature wear or damage to seals and other moving parts.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges using a suitable deburring tool to create a smooth, safe finish.
