Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong cutting tool, leading to jagged edges or material deformation.Utilize a precision metal shear or abrasive cutting saw suitable for 0.052" carbon steel to ensure clean, straight cuts.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding, resulting in poor joint integrity.Thoroughly clean the weld area to remove any oil, rust, or mill scale using a wire brush or degreaser to achieve optimal weld penetration and strength.

Common Applications

  • HVAC Ductwork Fabrication
