Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a dull cutting blade, leading to burrs and inaccuracies.Ensure cutting blades are sharp and appropriate for the thickness and material of the carbon steel sheet.
Inadequate support during cutting, resulting in sheet vibration and uneven cuts.Provide stable and even support along the entire length of the cut to prevent vibration and ensure a clean cut.

Common Applications

  • Heavy-duty fabrication
  • Machine bases and frames
