Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools that can cause deformation or uneven edges.Employ specialized metal cutting tools such as band saws with appropriate blades, abrasive cut-off wheels, or industrial shears designed for sheet metal.
Failing to account for material expansion or contraction during fabrication processes.Allow for a slight tolerance in measurements, especially when working with significant temperature changes or high-stress forming operations.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Connectors and Terminals
  • Marine Hardware and Fittings
