Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to jagged edges or material deformation.Utilize sharp, high-quality cutting tools specifically designed for metal fabrication, such as abrasive saws, plasma cutters, or shears.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding or coating, resulting in poor adhesion or structural integrity.Thoroughly clean the carbon steel surface to remove all mill scale, rust, oil, and other contaminants using degreasers and mechanical cleaning methods before proceeding with fabrication.
