Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to burrs or material deformation.Employ sharp, purpose-built cutting tools designed for sheet metal fabrication to ensure clean cuts and preserve material integrity.
Insufficient support during bending or forming operations, resulting in uneven stress distribution or cracking.Utilize appropriate dies, tooling, and support structures during bending and forming to maintain consistent pressure and prevent localized stress concentrations.

Common Applications
