Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to burrs or material deformation.Employ high-quality metal shears, plasma cutters, or abrasive saws suitable for 0.045" carbon steel, ensuring clean edges.
Over-stressing the material during bending, causing work-hardening or cracking.Utilize appropriate bending radii and ensure controlled, gradual bending to prevent material failure and maintain structural integrity.
