Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to jagged edges or material deformation.Utilize metal-specific cutting tools such as shears, saws, or plasma cutters appropriate for the steel's gauge.
Insufficient edge preparation before welding, resulting in weak or porous welds.Properly bevel and clean all edges to be welded to ensure optimal weld penetration and strength.

Common Applications
