Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using dull or incorrect saw blades for carbon steel.Employ sharp, high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting carbon steel to prevent binding and ensure clean cuts.
Inadequate clamping of the stock sheet.Securely clamp the sheet to prevent movement during the cutting process, which can lead to inaccurate dimensions and safety hazards.
